• 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
