• Background invertebrate herbivory on dwarf birch (Betula glandulosa-nana complex) increases with temperature and precipitation across the tundra biome 

      Barrio, Isabel C.; Lindén, Elin; Te Beest, Mariska; Olofsson, Johan; Rocha, Adrian; ... more authors ( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)
      Chronic, low intensity herbivory by invertebrates, termed background herbivory, has been understudied in tundra, yet its impacts are likely to increase in a warmer Arctic. The magnitude of these changes is however hard to ...
    • Developing common protocols to measure tundra herbivory across spatial scales 

      Barrio, Isabel C; Ehrich, Dorothée; Soininen, Eeva M; Ravolainen, Virve; Bueno, C Guillermo; ... more authors ( NRC Research Press , 2021 , Article)
      Understanding and predicting large-scale ecological responses to global environmental change requires comparative studies across geographic scales with coordinated efforts and standardized methodologies. We designed, applied ...
    • Global maps of soil temperature 

      Lembrechts, Jonas J.; van den Hoogen, Johan; Aalto, Juha; Ashcroft, Michael B.; De Frenne, Pieter; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2022 , Article)
      Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ...
    • Global patterns in endemicity and vulnerability of soil fungi 

      Tedersoo, Leho; Mikryukov, Vladimir; Zizka, Alexander; Bahram, Mohammad; Hagh-Doust, Niloufar; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2022 , Article)
      Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. ...
    • The Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset for boosting fungal diversity research 

      Tedersoo, Leho; Mikryukov, Vladimir; Anslan, Sten; Bahram, Mohammad; Khalid, Abdul Nasir; ... more authors ( Springer , 2021 , Article)
      Fungi are highly important biotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a very limited understanding about their diversity and distribution. This data article releases a global soil fungal dataset of the ...
    • Winters are changing: snow effects on Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems 

      Rixen, Christian; Høye, Toke Thomas; Macek, Petr; Aerts, Rien; Alatalo, Juha; ... more authors ( Canadian Science Publishing , 2022 , Article)
      Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation determines ground temperature, light conditions and moisture availability during winter. It also affects the growing season’s start and ...
