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 ...

The snow and the willows : the ecological responses of the alpine dwarf shrub "Salix herbacea" to climate change [PDF]
, 2014 Current changes in shrub abundance in alpine and arctic tundra ecosystems are primarily driven by warming, changes in snow cover time and shifts in biotic interactions.

Notes on invasive and expansive trees and shrubs [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2005 Expansion and invasion of plants indicate successful colonization and competitive abilities of species. There are fewer invasive and expansive woody plants than herbs. Main expansive (native species) trees and shrubs are Acer platanoides, Acer pseudoplatanus, Clematis vitalba, Crataegus sp. div., Fraxinus excelsior, Prunus spinosa, Rubus sp.

Differential physiological responses to environmental change promote woody shrub expansion [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2013 AbstractDirect and indirect effects of warming are increasingly modifying the carbon‐rich vegetation and soils of the Arctic tundra, with important implications for the terrestrial carbon cycle. Understanding the biological and environmental influences on the processes that regulate foliar carbon cycling in tundra species is essential for predicting ...

Environmental Research Letters, 2017 Woody shrubs have increased in biomass and expanded into new areas throughout the Pan-Arctic tundra biome in recent decades, which has been linked to a biome-wide observed increase in productivity.

Lacon-, Shrub- and Parity-Decompositions: Characterizing Transductions of Bounded Expansion Classes
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2023 The concept of bounded expansion provides a robust way to capture sparse graph classes with interesting algorithmic properties. Most notably, every problem definable in first-order logic can be solved in linear time on bounded expansion graph classes.

Fertile Island Soils Promote the Restoration of Shrub Patches in Burned Areas in Arid Saline Land
Fire, 2023 Shrub encroachment and expansion have been widely reported globally and are particularly severe in arid saline land. Shrubs in harsh habitats have fertile island effects, but the promoting effect of fertile island soil on shrub patch restoration remains ...

A Multiscale Analysis of Factors Associated with Shrub Cover and Shrub Expansion on the North Slope of Alaska [PDF]
, 2019 Species distributions are expected to shift with changes in climate at a global scale. The northern latitudes are warming at a rate three times greater than the global mean, which has resulted in the Arctic tundra undergoing many environmental changes in

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Evergreen dwarf shrubs respond swiftly to warming in the cool and dry High Arctic, but their response in the warmer Low Arctic, where they are expected to be outcompeted by taller species under future warming, remains to be clarified. Here, 12,528 annual
