Shrubification along Pipeline Corridors in Permafrost Regions
Pipeline corridors have been rapidly increasing in length and density because of the ever growing demand for crude oil and natural gas resources in hydrocarbon-rich permafrost regions. Pipeline engineering activities have significant implications for the permafrost environment in cold regions.

Can reindeer husbandry management slow down the shrubification of the Arctic? [PDF]
Rapid climate change is threatening the stability and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. As the Arctic warms, shrubs have been widely observed to expand, which has potentially serious consequences for global climate regulation and for the ecological processes characterising these ecosystems.

AbstractNorthern peatlands are globally important long‐term sinks of carbon due to their predominantly saturated conditions. However, these ecosystems are expected to become drier with climate change, potentially leading to shrubification. As such, the response of the shrubification–evapotranspiration (ET) feedback may be of critical importance to ...

Decreased Soil Microbial Nitrogen Under Vegetation ‘Shrubification’ in the Subarctic Forest–Tundra Ecotone: The Potential Role of Increasing Nutrient Competition Between Plants and Soil Microorganisms [PDF]
The consequences of warming-induced ‘shrubification’ on Arctic soil carbon storage are receiving increased attention, as the majority of ecosystem carbon in these systems is stored in soils.

The Transformation of Morphological Properties of Soils Due to the Low Arctic Tundra Shrubification
Climate warming in the Subarctic leads to the expansion of shrub ecosystems. The most common upland tundra shrubification is by alder in combination with dwarf birch and willows. However, the nature and rate of changes in the morphological properties of soils in the low arctic tundra during shrubification remain unknown.

Widespread Shrubification on European Mountain Summits.
ABSTRACT Shrubs are expanding across the cold ecosystems of our planet with potentially profound consequences for their biodiversity and functioning. However, evidence is still strongly biased towards the Arctic tundra, while a large‐scale assessment of shrub expansion in alpine areas above the elevational ...

Landscape patterns of shrubification in the Siberian Low Arctic: A machine learning perspective
Abstract Tundra shrub expansion is a central form of change in warming Arctic ecosystems, but the pace of shrubification varies across spatial scales, complicating efforts to understand its drivers and consequences. Here, we apply convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
