Growth rings show limited evidence for ungulates’ potential to suppress shrubs across the Arctic

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Global warming has pronounced effects on tundra vegetation, and rising mean temperatures increase plant growth potential across the Arctic biome. Herbivores may counteract the warming impacts by reducing plant growth, but the strength of this effect may ...
