Ecosphere, 2022 Much of the Arctic is experiencing rapid change in the productivity and recruitment of tall, deciduous shrubs. It is well established that shrub expansion can alter tundra ecosystem composition and function; however, less is known about the degree to ...

Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rainforest boundary in South America [PDF]
, 2012 Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding distributional ranges of stress-intolerant species into harsh environments.

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine ResearchAssessments of passerine–habitat relationships in shrub tundra regions are rare, limiting our understanding of the effects of shrub expansion. Further, previous studies of shrub tundra passerines have primarily assessed variation in abundance as a ...

Corticular photosynthesis: A mechanism to enhance shrub expansion in coastal environments
Photosynthetica, 2009 Myrica cerifera L. (Myricaceae), the dominant woody species on many barrier islands along the southeastern coast of the United States, is expanding into grass-dominated, mesic, interdunal depressions where it forms dense thickets. Expansion may be attributed to a symbiotic nitrogen fixation with the bacterium Frankia, an evergreen leaf habit and ...

Shrub expansion in the Arctic may induce large-scale carbon losses due to changes in plant-soil interactions [PDF]
, 2021 Background Tall deciduous shrubs are increasing in range, size and cover across much of the Arctic, a process commonly assumed to increase carbon (C) storage.

Modelled sensitivity of the snow regime to topography, shrub fraction and shrub height [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Recent studies show that shrubs are colonizing higher latitudes and altitudes in the Arctic. Shrubs affect the wind transport, accumulation and melt of snow, but there have been few sensitivity studies of how shrub expansion might affect snowmelt rates ...

Control of Mosses on Water Flux in an Alpine Shrub Site on the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China
Plants, 2022 Mosses are an important component of the alpine shrub, but little is known about their contribution to ecosystem water and energy exchange, especially potential opportunities for alpine shrub expansion under a warming climate.
