Spatial patterns of goose grubbing suggest elevated grubbing in dry habitats linked to early snowmelt [PDF]
Polar Research, 2013 The western Palaearctic tundra is a breeding habitat for large populations of European geese. After their arrival in spring, pink-footed geese (Anser brachyrhynchus) forage extensively on below-ground plant parts, using a feeding technique called ...

Инициальное почвообразование в Прибрежной Антарктике: существуют ли не орнитогенные почвы?
Український антарктичний журнал, 2017 Примитивные тундровые почвы сформировались и функционируют в суровых климатических условиях. Их изучение позволяет количественно оценить инициальные стадии почвообразования, что крайне важно как для понимания процесса в целом, так и для создания ...

Clinical Chemistry, 2017 Cold, windy, the house creaking, feeling the low temperature from the outside world. Freeze nipping at my bare toes. Barren trees, grey against the monochromatic sky, seemingly lifeless land, snow starts falling, swirling through the air, so soft and gentle. As I peek out the window, it turns to sleet.

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Soil carbon (C) in permafrost peatlands is vulnerable to decomposition with thaw under a warming climate. The amount and form of C loss likely depends on the site hydrology following permafrost thaw, but antecedent conditions during peat accumulation are

Ecological Monographs, 2019 The Arctic tundra is warming rapidly, yet the exact mechanisms linking warming and observed ecological changes are often unclear. Understanding mechanisms of change requires long-term monitoring of multiple ecological parameters.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Interactions between carbon and nitrogen dynamics in estimating net primary productivity for potential vegetation in North America [PDF]
, 1992 We use the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM), a process-based model, to investigate how interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics affect predictions of net primary productivity (NPP) for potential vegetation in North America. Data on pool

Patterned-ground facilitates shrub expansion in Low Arctic tundra
Environmental Research Letters, 2013 Recent expansion of tall shrubs in Low Arctic tundra is widely seen as a response to climate warming, but shrubification is not occurring as a simple function of regional climate trends.

Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...
