Ecosphere, 2023 Climate change, including both increasing temperatures and changing snow regimes, is progressing rapidly in the Arctic, leading to changes in plant phenology and in the seasonal patterns of plant properties, such as tissue nitrogen (N) content and ...

Evaluation of E3SM land model snow simulations over the western United States [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Seasonal snow has crucial impacts on climate, ecosystems, and humans, but it is vulnerable to global warming. The land component (ELM) of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) mechanistically simulates snow processes from accumulation, canopy ...

Facilitative Effects of <i>Alnus viridis</i> ssp. <i>fruticosa</i> on <i>Betula nana</i> ssp. <i>exilis</i> Growth in Arctic Alaska. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how Siberian alder influences the growth of dwarf birch in the low Alaskan Arctic. Using growth rings, we found that Siberian alder promotes dwarf birch growth overall despite delaying and shortening the growing season through enhancing snow depths.

Relative Influence of Timing and Accumulation of Snow on Alpine Land Surface Phenology [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2018 AbstractTiming and accumulation of snow are among the most important phenomena influencing land surface phenology in mountainous ecosystems. However, our knowledge on their influence on alpine land surface phenology is still limited, and much remains unclear as to which snow metrics are most relevant for studying this interaction.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 Snow cover is an important part of the Earth’s surface and its changes affect local and even global climates due to the high albedo and heat insulation. However, it is difficult to directly compare the results of previous studies on changes in snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere mainland (NH) due to the use of different datasets, research methods, or

Impact of Snowpack on the Land Surface Phenology in the Tianshan Mountains, Central Asia
Remote Sensing, 2022 The accumulation and ablation processes of seasonal snow significantly affect the land surface phenology in a mountainous ecosystem. However, the ability of snow to regulate the alpine land surface phenology in the arid regions is not well described in ...

Snow Cover Phenology Change and Response to Climate in China during 2000–2020
Remote Sensing, 2022 Snow cover phenology (SCP) is critical to the climate system. China has the most comprehensive snow cover distribution in the middle and low latitudes and has shown dramatic changes over the past few decades. However, the spatiotemporal characteristics of SCP parameters and their sensitivity to meteorological factors (temperature and precipitation ...

Sea ice and snow phenology in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago from 1997 to 2018
Arctic Science, 2021 The multiple islands and narrow channels that form the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) complicate snow/ice monitoring, as coarse resolution satellite observations are unable to resolve smaller-scale changes in snow/ice cover. We present the first study

Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Migration is a widespread strategy among ungulates to cope with seasonality. Phenology, especially in seasonally snow-covered landscapes featuring “white waves” of snow accumulation and “green waves” of plant green-up, is a phenomenon that ...
