• Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems? 

      Lett, Signe; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg S.; Becker-Scarpitta, Antoine; Christiansen, Casper T.; During, Heinjo; ... more authors ( Canadian Science Publishing , 2022 , Article Review)
      The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental changes at the species level, but because ...
    • Experimental warming differentially affects vegetative and reproductive phenology of tundra plants 

      Collins, Courtney G.; Elmendorf, Sarah C.; Hollister, Robert D.; Henry, Greg H.R.; Clark, Karin; ... more authors ( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)
      Rapid climate warming is altering Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystem structure and function, including shifts in plant phenology. While the advancement of green up and flowering are well-documented, it remains unclear ...
    • Plant traits poorly predict winner and loser shrub species in a warming tundra biome 

      García Criado, Mariana; Myers-Smith, Isla H.; Bjorkman, Anne D.; Normand, Signe; Blach-Overgaard, Anne; ... more authors ( Springer , 2023 , Article)
      Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome, shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit from warming. Winner and loser species, and the characteristics that ...
    • The tundra phenology database: More than two decades of tundra phenology responses to climate change 

      Prevéy, Janet; Elmendorf, Sarah; Bjorkman, Anne; Alatalo, Juha; Ashton, Isabel; ... more authors ( NRC Research Press , 2021 , Article)
      Observations of changes in phenology have provided some of the strongest signals of the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX), initiated in the early 1990s, established ...
