A major contribution to our initial understanding of the origin, history and biogeography of
the present‐day arctic flora was made by Eric Hultén in his landmark book Outline of the …

A three-dimensional thermomechanical model is used to investigate the Last Glacial
Maximum (LGM) Icelandic ice sheet and the climate responsible for it at∼ 21kaBP. A series …

Up to the 1960s, there was nearly complete consensus that disjunctions and endemism in
the North Atlantic cannot be explained without in situ survival during the glaciations (the" …

Question: Have recent increases in temperature caused a decline in arctic‐alpine plants at
the southern margin of their range? Location: Above tree line; Glacier National Park …

The Norse colonisation or landnám of the North Atlantic islands of the Faroes, Iceland, and
Greenland from the ninth century AD onwards provides opportunities to examine human …

Aim This paper seeks to elucidate the first post‐glacial arrival of tree species to high
elevations in the Scandes. This enables testing of general theories concerning glacial …

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands. We use
genetic data for 25 Atlantic species and similarities among regional floras to analyse …

Arctic shrubification is an observable consequence of climate change, already resulting in
ecological shifts and global‐scale climate feedbacks including changes in land surface …

During the latter part of the 20th century research effort in studies of the Weichselian history
of Iceland was intensified and about a decade ago three papers appeared, providing a good …

Understanding patterns of colonisation is important for explaining both the distribution of
single species and anticipating how ecosystems may respond to global warming. Insular …
