Arctic sea ice extent (SIE) is declining at an accelerating rate with a wide range of ecological
consequences. However, determining sea ice effects on tundra vegetation remains a …

Warming in recent decades has triggered shrub expansion in Arctic and alpine tundra,
which is transforming these temperature-limited ecosystems and altering carbon and …

Tundra shrubs reflect climate sensitivities in their growth-ring widths, yet tissue-specific
shrub chronologies are poorly studied. Further, the relative importance of regional climate …

Ongoing encroachment is driving recent alpine shrubline dynamics globally, but the role of
shrub-shrub interactions in shaping shrublines and their relationships with stem density …

The environmental, social, and economic consequences of the use of fossil fuels have led in
search for new-alternative energy resources, such as energy crops. These crops are …

Built upon a 5‐year field investigation and a 13‐year satellite data set, this study examines
the intricate interrelationships among ecophysiological parameters of Larix gmelinii trees …

Climate change is most pronounced at high latitudes, where plant and animal populations
are often strongly influenced by environmental fluctuations related to climate and weather …

Tundra vegetation dynamics are an excellent indicator of Arctic climate change. In many
places in the Arctic, greening of tundra has been observed since the 1980s due to rapid …

Questions Shrub vegetation has been expanding across much of the rapidly changing
Arctic. Yet, there is still uncertainty about the underlying drivers of shrub community …

Iceland, located in the climatologically sensitive subarctic zone, is one of the key areas for
studying climate change and the current Arctic warming. Poor and rich heathland covers …
