Facing the limit of resilience: perceptions of climate change among reindeer herding Sami in Sweden

Global Health Action, 2011
The Arctic area is a part of the globe where the increase in global temperature has had the earliest noticeable effect and indigenous peoples, including the Swedish reindeer herding Sami, are amongst the first to be affected by these changes.To explore ...

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.

Impacts of reindeer grazing on phosphorus sorption and nutrient availability in a tundra site

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Reindeer Rangifer tarandus, a large circumpolar herbivore, can influence whether nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) is the primary limiting nutrient in tundra plant communities. Specifically, findings from a site in northern Scandinavia suggest that under conditions where reindeer grazing stimulates inorganic N availability, grazing may drive ecosystems ...

From hunters to herders. Reflections on the “Ecological Migration” of the Chinese Evenki reindeer herders [PDF]

Études mongoles et sibériennes, centrasiatiques et tibétaines, 2018
Le « mode de vie traditionnel » des Évenks éleveurs de rennes de Chine a connu d’importants changements suite à la « migration écologique » de 2003 et l’interdiction de la chasse. Ainsi, l’identité des Évenks est passée du statut de « chasseurs » à celui d’« éleveurs de rennes ».

Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular
