Multi-Sensor Analysis of Snow Seasonality and a Preliminary Assessment of SAR Backscatter Sensitivity to Arctic Vegetation: Limits and Capabilities

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Snow melt timing and the last day of snow cover have a significant impact on vegetation phenology in the Svalbard archipelago. The aim of this study is to assess the seasonal variations of the snow using a multi-sensor approach and to analyze the ...

Relationship of cyanobacterial and algal assemblages with vegetation in the high Arctic tundra (West Spitsbergen, Svalbard Archipelago)

open access: yesPolish Polar Research, 2015
The paper presents the results of a study of cyanobacteria and green algae assemblages occurring in various tundra types determined on the basis of mosses and vascular plants and habitat conditions. The research was carried out during summer in the years

Increases in graminoids after three decades of change in the High Arctic

open access: yesPolar Research, 2023
Climate change portends serious implications for Arctic vegetation. Understanding these effects is likely to be enhanced with long-term observations from permanent plots. I evaluated three decades of change in tundra vegetation from 80 permanent plots on

Effects of multiple environmental variables on tundra ecosystem respiration in maritime Antarctica

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Summertime ecosystem respiration (ER) rates through seven sites were measured at an upland tundra on Fildes Peninsula in maritime Antarctica to investigate effects of topographic gradient, vegetation types and climatic factors on tundra ER rates. Overall

Impacts of active retrogressive thaw slumps on vegetation, soil, and net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide in the Canadian High Arctic

open access: yesArctic Science, 2017
Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) are permafrost disturbances common on the Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island, Canada. During the 2013 growing season, three different RTS were studied to investigate the impact on vegetation composition, soil, and growing

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

Differential arthropod responses to warming are altering the structure of Arctic communities [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
The Arctic is experiencing some of the fastest rates of warming on the planet. Although many studies have documented responses to such warming by individual species, the idiosyncratic nature of these findings has prevented us from extrapolating them to ...

Greening on the Bathurst caribou range in northern Canada: are erect shrubs responsible for remotely sensed trends?

open access: yesArctic Science, 2023
Remote sensing has detected recent trends of increased vegetation productivity on the Bathurst caribou herd’s range. The cause of this spectral greening is unknown but is hypothesized to be the result of a change in the composition, establishment ...
