Across four continents, we investigated how temperature controls the productivity of high mountain vegetation. We found that the productivity of plants growing close to the ground (< 1 m) tends to be controlled by highly localised “microclimate” temperatures, while the productivity of trees was strongly linked to broader‐scale temperatures.

Projected radiative forcing from a thermokarst bog in Boreal Alaska depends on methane emission transport pathway dominance, with aerenchyma‐ and diffusion‐dominant causing net warming and ebullition‐dominant causing net cooling. Predicted methane shows a transient response as air temperature increases in future projections causing soil drying and ...

A novel experimental platform to monitor solid/water interfaces under freeze–thaw cycles
Abstract We design and implement an original experimental platform resting on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to capture nanoscale insights into key characteristics of solid/water interfaces subject to freeze–thaw conditions. The work is motivated by the observation that freezing and thawing underpin a variety of processes in the context of, e.g ...

Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...
