Expansion of the Sahara Desert and shrinking of frozen land of the Arctic. [PDF]
, 2020 Expansion of the Sahara Desert (SD) and greening of the Arctic tundra-glacier region (ArcTG) have been hot subjects under extensive investigations. However, quantitative and comprehensive assessments of the landform changes in these regions are lacking ...

Arctic shrub expansion revealed by Landsat-derived multitemporal vegetation cover fractions in the Western Canadian Arctic [PDF]
, 2022 Warming induced shifts in tundra vegetation composition and structure, including circumpolar expansion of shrubs, modifies ecosystem structure and functioning with potentially global consequences due to feedback mechanisms between vegetation and climate.

The Transformation of Morphological Properties of Soils Due to the Low Arctic Tundra Shrubification
Vestnik Tomskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta. Biologiya, 2022 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.

Shrub expansion in maritime forest responding to sea level rise
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Expansion of shrubs has been observed in a number of biomes and in response to diverse global change drivers. Noting shrub expansion in coastal forests affected by sea level rise, we began to monitor shrub populations in a transgressing loblolly pine ...

Longer thaw seasons increase nitrogen availability for leaching during fall in tundra soils [PDF]
, 2016 Climate change has resulted in warmer soil temperatures, earlier spring thaw and later fall freeze-up, resulting in warmer soil temperatures and thawing of permafrost in tundra regions.
