• Assessing the vulnerability of socio-environmental systems to climate change along an altitude gradient in the Indian Himalayas 

      Gupta A.K.; Negi M.; Nandy S.; Alatalo J.M.; Singh V.; ... more authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)
      Climate change is affecting biotic and abiotic components of the Himalayan ecosystem, disturbing existing socio-ecological systems. Future changes in the climate, coupled with ongoing development activities in the Himalayas, ...
    • Closing a gap - First records of bryophytes from the Qatar Peninsula 

      Kurschner H.; Alatalo J.M.; Al-Mesaifri M.A.S.L.; Alsafran M.H.S.A. ( A.D.A.C. , 2018 , Article)
      The ephemeral or annual mosses Entosthodon fascicularis (Funariaceae), Microbryum starckeanum (Pottiaceae) and Pohlia melanodon (Mniaceae) were found in the understorey of natural Ziziphus nummularia shrubland in Qatar. ...
    • Global change effects on plant communities are magnified by time and the number of global change factors imposed 

      Komatsu K.J.; Avolio M.L.; Lemoine N.P.; Isbell F.; Grman E.; ... more authors ( National Academy of Sciences , 2019 , Article)
      Global change drivers (GCDs) are expected to alter community structure and consequently, the services that ecosystems provide. Yet, few experimental investigations have examined effects of GCDs on plant community structure ...
    • Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome 

      Rheubottom S.I.; Barrio I.C.; Kozlov M.V.; Alatalo J.M.; Andersson T.; ... more authors ( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)
      Invertebrate herbivores depend on external temperature for growth and metabolism. Continued warming in tundra ecosystems is proposed to result in increased invertebrate herbivory. However, empirical data about how current ...
    • Improving niche projections of plant species under climate change: Silene acaulis on the British Isles as a case study 

      Ferrarini A.; Alsafran M.H.S.A.; Dai J.; Alatalo J.M. ( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)
      Empirical works to assist in choosing climatically relevant variables in the attempt to predict climate change impacts on plant species are limited. Further uncertainties arise in choice of an appropriate niche model. In ...
    • Organic materials amendments can improve NPK availability and maize growth by reducing heavy metals stress in calcareous soil 

      Saleem, A.; Ur Rahim, H.; Khan, U.; Irfan, M.; Akbar, W. A.; ... more authors ( Springer , 2023 , Article)
      The deficiency of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in calcareous soils of semi-arid climates is well recognized, and various green-based strategies have been employed to enhance their availability. However, the combined ...
    • Plant functional trait change across a warming tundra biome 

      Bjorkman A.D.; Myers-Smith I.H.; Elmendorf S.C.; Normand S.; Rüger N.; ... more authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2018 , Article)
      The tundra is warming more rapidly than any other biome on Earth, and the potential ramifications are far-reaching because of global feedback effects between vegetation and climate. A better understanding of how environmental ...
    • Quantifying ecosystem services supply and demand shortfalls and mismatches for management optimisation 

      Chen J.; Jiang B.; Bai Y.; Xu X.; Alatalo J.M. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)
      Research on ecosystem services (ESs) has increased substantially in recent decades, but the findings have been slow to affect actual management, perhaps because most studies to date have neglected ESs supply and demand ...
    • Traditional plant functional groups explain variation in economic but not size-related traits across the tundra biome 

      Thomas, H. J. D.; Myers-Smith, I. H.; Bjorkman, A. D.; Elmendorf, S. C.; Blok, D.; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2019 , Article)
      Aim: Plant functional groups are widely used in community ecology and earth system modelling to describe trait variation within and across plant communities. However, this approach rests on the assumption that functional ...
    • Tundra Trait Team: A database of plant traits spanning the tundra biome 

      Bjorkman A.D.; Myers-Smith I.H.; Elmendorf S.C.; Normand S.; Thomas H.J.D.; ... more authors ( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2018 , Article)
      Motivation: The Tundra Trait Team (TTT) database includes field-based measurements of key traits related to plant form and function at multiple sites across the tundra biome. This dataset can be used to address theoretical ...
