Recent changes in pan-Arctic sea ice, lake ice, and snow-on/off timing [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2021
Arctic snow and ice cover are vital indicators of climate variability and change, yet while the Arctic shows overall warming and dramatic changes in snow and ice cover, the response of these high-latitude regions to recent climatic change varies ...

Declining snow cover may affect spring phenological trend on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Zhang et al. (1) report that the Tibetan Plateau experienced a continuous advancing start of green-up date (SOS) from 1982 to 2011 based on the merged Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS)-based with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [Systeme Pour l’Observation de la Terre vegetation (SPOT-VGT)]-based SOSs.

Effects of snow manipulation on larch trees in the taiga forest ecosystem in northeastern Siberia

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
Changes in winter precipitation (snow) may greatly affect vegetation by altering hydrological and biochemical processes. To understand the effects of changing snow cover depth and melt timing on the taiga forest ecosystem, a snow manipulation experiment ...

Can snow depth be used to predict the distribution of the high Arctic aphid Acyrthosiphon svalbardicum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Spitsbergen?

BMC Ecology, 2011
Background The Svalbard endemic aphid Acyrthosiphon svalbardicum (Heikinheimo, 1968) is host specific to Dryas octopetala L. ssp octopetala (Rosaceae).

Combined Effects of Precipitation and Temperature on the Responses of Forest Spring Phenology to Winter Snow Cover Dynamics in Northeast China

IEEE Access, 2019
The start date of vegetation growing season (SOS) is generally considered as an essential indicator to reflect vegetation growth condition. To date, relatively little research has explored the combined effects of temperature and precipitation on the ...

Spatiotemporal Variation of Snow Cover and Its Response to Climate Change in the Source Region of the Yangtze River, China

Atmosphere, 2022
In the context of global warming, snow cover changes have an extremely important impact on the hydrological cycle and the redistribution of water resources in arid and semi-arid regions.

Digging deep to open the white black box of snow root phenology [PDF]

Ecological Research, 2013
Abstract Snow roots are specialized structures recently discovered in the Caucasian alpine snow‐bed plant Corydalis conorhiza . They form extensive networks that grow into snow packs against gravity, most probably to gather nitrogen from snow.

A random-forest-derived 35-year snow phenology record reveals climate trends in the Yukon River Basin [PDF]

The Cryosphere
This study presents a 35-year snow phenology record for the Yukon River Basin (YRB), developed using a random forest (RF) model at a 3.125 km resolution, capturing detailed trends in snowmelt onset and snow-off.

Earlier spring snowmelt drives arrowleaf balsamroot phenology in montane meadows

Ecosphere, 2022
Climate change is shifting phenology globally, altering when and how species respond to environmental cues such as temperature and the timing of snowmelt.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.
