(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems are large reservoirs of organic carbon1,2. Climate warming may stimulate ecosystem respiration and release carbon into the atmosphere3,4. The magnitude and persistency of this stimulation ...

      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 ...
    • Vegetation change on mountaintops in northern Sweden: Stable vascular-plant but reordering of lichen and bryophyte communities 

      Hagenberg, Liyenne Wu Chen; Vanneste, Thomas; Opedal, Øystein Hjorthol; Petlund, Hanne Torsdatter; Björkman, Mats Peter; Björk, Robert G.; Holien, Håkon; Limpens, Juul; Molau, Ulf; Graae, Bente Jessen; De Frenne, Pieter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Alpine ecosystems harbor remarkably diverse and distinct plant communities that are characteristically limited to harsh, and cold climatic conditions. As a result of thermal limitation to species occurrence, mountainous ...
