[HTML][HTML] The ecosystem effects of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in northern Fennoscandia: Past, present and future
The semi-domesticated nature of the reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) makes it a distinct case
among the world's herbivores. Here, we review the literature on how reindeer shape …

Post-fire vegetation succession in the Siberian subarctic tundra over 45 years
Wildfires are relatively rare in subarctic tundra ecosystems, but they can strongly change
ecosystem properties. Short-term fire effects on subarctic tundra vegetation are well …

Reindeer use of low Arctic tundra correlates with landscape structure
Rapid climate change in Arctic regions is linked to the expansion of woody taxa
(shrubification), and an increase in biomass as tundra becomes greener. Reindeer and …

Long‐term herbivore removal experiments reveal how geese and reindeer shape vegetation and ecosystem CO2‐fluxes in high‐Arctic tundra
Given the current rates of climate change, with associated shifts in herbivore population
densities, understanding the role of different herbivores in ecosystem functioning is critical …

Impacts of terrestrial mammalian herbivores on vegetation change in the arctic
M Osterrieth, T Bosker - Polar Biology, 2024 - Springer
There are increasing concerns about regional ecosystem shifts in the Arctic due to climate
change. Notably, warming-induced increases in Arctic vegetation cover can have important …

Increased nutrient availability speeds up permafrost development, while goose grazing slows it down in a Canadian High Arctic wetland
It is of prime importance to understand feedbacks due to the release of carbon (C) stored in
permafrost soils (permafrost‐climate feedback) and direct impacts of climatic variations on …

Large herbivores on permafrost—a pilot study of grazing impacts on permafrost soil carbon storage in northeastern Siberia
The risk of carbon emissions from permafrost is linked to an increase in ground temperature
and thus in particular to thermal insulation by vegetation, soil layers and snow cover. Ground …

Reindeer grazing reduces climate‐driven vegetation changes and shifts trophic interactions in the Fennoscandian tundra
Herbivores drive shifts in plant species composition by interacting with vegetation through
defoliation, trampling and nutrient addition: urine and faeces. As herbivore effects on …
