Changes in different land cover areas and NDVI values in northern latitudes from 1982 to 2015

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2021
Climate warming leads to vast changes in the land cover types and plant biomass in the northern high-latitude regions. The overall trend is of shrubland and tree lines moving northwards, while changes in different land cover types and vegetation growth ...

Increased Arctic NO₃⁻ Availability as a Hydrogeomorphic Consequence of Permafrost Degradation and Landscape Drying

Nitrogen, 2022
Climate-driven permafrost thaw alters the strongly coupled carbon and nitrogen cycles within the Arctic tundra, influencing the availability of limiting nutrients including nitrate (NO3−).

Recent plant photosynthate as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Timeline of key eco‐evolutionary outcomes arising from belowground allocation of recent plant photosynthate from shoots. Summary Plants rapidly allocate carbon from photosynthesis belowground via root exudates and root‐associated microorganisms. Here we synthesise recent evidence of our understanding of the consequences of this ‘fast’ pathway of recent

Comparison of carbon and nitrogen storage in mineral soils of graminoid and shrub tundra sites, western Greenland

Arctic Science, 2016
Shrub species are expanding across the Arctic in response to climate change and biotic interactions. Changes in belowground carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage are of global importance because Arctic soils store approximately half of global soil C.

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

High elevation shrubification in the subarctic during the Holocene Thermal Maximum and 21st century

Communications Earth & Environment
Future changes in high latitude shrubification are expected to amplify warming. However, the elevational range and climate sensitivity of shrubification is poorly constrained, which hinders our ability to tune Earth system models. Using a sediment record

Organic Matter Dynamics and Biogeochemical Signatures in Lakes From the Prairies to Tundra in Western Canada

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Climate‐driven poleward shifts of terrestrial ecosystems are expected to alter organic matter inputs and biogeochemical processes in northern lakes. In regions lacking long‐term observations, latitudinal gradients provide valuable space‐for‐time substitutions for predicting these changes.

Faster growing and more functionally diverse: global change alters functional trait composition of mountain plant communities in the European Alps

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Understanding how global change reshapes mountain plant communities is essential for predicting biodiversity and ecosystem function in a warming world. Using resurvey data from over 1400 non‐forest vegetation plots across the European Alps, we show that community‐weighted means of key functional traits capturing important dimensions of plant ecological

Different effects of alpine woody plant expansion on domestic and wild ungulates. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol, 2019
Changes in land-use and climate affect the distribution and diversity of plant and animal species at different spatiotemporal scales. The extent to which species-specific phenotypic plasticity and biotic interactions mediate organismal adaptation to ...
