Arctic shrubification mediates the impacts of warming climate on changes to tundra vegetation
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Climate change has been observed to expand distributions of woody plants in many areas of arctic and alpine environments—a phenomenon called shrubification.

Surface albedo of alpine lichen heaths and shrub vegetation
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020 Lichen heaths are declining in abundance while shrubs are increasing their range in alpine and arctic areas due to climate change. This can have a large impact on the surface albedo of these areas. The aim of this article is to quantify the difference in

Preliminary Analysis of AIS Spectral Data Acquired from Semi-arid Shrub Communities in the Owens Valley, California [PDF]
, 1985 Spectral characteristics of semic-arid plant communities using 128 channel airborne imaging spectrometer (AIS) data acquired on October 30, 1984. Both field and AIS spectra of vegetation were relatively featureless and differed from substrate spectra ...

[EN] Shrubs play an intermediate role between trees (volumes) and herbaceous plants (ground cover). They act on a more human scale and with their masses and groupings they can also add volume to areas and scenes in the garden. They are useful for establishing successive planes, layers, or levels in the green component of a park or a garden; they serve ...

Shrub tundra ecohydrology: rainfall interception is a major component of the water balance
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 As shrubs expand across the Arctic, they alter all cycles in the Earth system, including the water cycle. However, the coupling of shrubs with the water cycle during summer remains poorly understood.
