Assessments of recent tundra change based on repeated vegetation surveys

open access: yes, 2010
Results from experimental warming studies suggest tundra vegetation will respond rapidly and dramatically to climate warming, and indeed, NDVI data from remote sensing and repeat aerial photography suggest such changes may already be occurring.

The snow and the willows : the ecological responses of the alpine dwarf shrub "Salix herbacea" to climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Current changes in shrub abundance in alpine and arctic tundra ecosystems are primarily driven by warming, changes in snow cover time and shifts in biotic interactions.

Identifying multidisciplinary research gaps across Arctic terrestrial gradients

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2019
Global warming is driving environmental change in the Arctic. However, our current understanding of this change varies strongly among different environmental disciplines and is limited by the number and distribution of field sampling locations.

Determining Subarctic Peatland Vegetation Using an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Rising global temperatures tied to increases in greenhouse gas emissions are impacting high latitude regions, leading to changes in vegetation composition and feedbacks to climate through increased methane (CH4) emissions.

Die Tundra im Wandel

open access: yes, 2021
Nirgendwo auf der Erde ist die Erwärmung durch die Emission von anthropogenen Treibhausgasen so hoch wie in der Arktis. Das hat neben dem Abschmelzen von Eis und Schnee und der Erwärmung des Nordpolarmeers auch Auswirkungen auf die Vegetationsbedeckung ...

InSAR Detection and Field Evidence for Thermokarst after a Tundra Wildfire, Using ALOS-PALSAR

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Thermokarst is the process of ground subsidence caused by either the thawing of ice-rich permafrost or the melting of massive ground ice. The consequences of permafrost degradation associated with thermokarst for surface ecology, landscape evolution, and

Preliminary landscape mapping and analys of ecological features of the island of Vaigach

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2013
Selected on the basis of decoding of space pictures and analysis of the published data of natural-territorial complexes provide a first idea of the uniqueness of the landscape of the island of Vaigach. Climate warming will cause first of all the activity

Effects of changing permafrost and snow conditions on tundra wildlife: critical places and times

open access: yesArctic Science, 2017
The change of water phase around 0 °C has considerable impacts on wildlife ecology because liquid and solid water strongly differ in their insulating capability, mechanical resistance, and light reflectance.
