Prunus serotina unleashed: invader dominance after 70 years of forest development [PDF]

, 2009
Propagule pressure and disturbance have both been found to facilitate invasion. Therefore, knowledge on the history of introduction and disturbance is vital for understanding an invasion process, and research should focus on areas in which the invasive ...

Influence of topography and moisture and nutrient availability on green alder function on the low arctic tundra, NT [PDF]

, 2017
The Arctic has warmed by at least 3°C over the past 50 years and this rapid warming is expected to continue. Climate warming is driving the proliferation of shrubs across the tundra biome with implications for energy balance, climate, hydrology, nutrient

Reindeer grazing increases summer albedo by reducing shrub abundance in Arctic tundra

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
Previous studies have shown that climate warming is causing shrub cover to increase at high latitudes. Increased shrub cover generally lowers surface albedo, which results in higher energy absorption and further warming.

Solar Radiation Transfer Through a Subarctic Shrub Canopy [PDF]

, 2007
Much of the low Arctic is covered with shrubs that are partially buried by snow in winter and become exposed during melt. This study presents measurements and modeling of shortwave radiation reflection and extinction by a deciduous shrub canopy emerging ...

Growth rings show limited evidence for ungulates’ potential to suppress shrubs across the Arctic

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Global warming has pronounced effects on tundra vegetation, and rising mean temperatures increase plant growth potential across the Arctic biome. Herbivores may counteract the warming impacts by reducing plant growth, but the strength of this effect may ...
