(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      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 ...

      Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, ...
    • Determinants of tree seedling establishment in alpine tundra 

      Marsman, Floor; Nystuen, Kristin Odden; Opedal, Øystein Hjorthol; Sørensen, Mia Vedel; De Frenne, Pieter; Graae, Bente Jessen; Limpens, Juul; Foest, Jessie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Questions Changes in climate and herbivory pressure affect northern alpine ecosystems through woody plant encroachment, altering their composition, structure and functioning. The encroachment often occurs at unequal rates ...
    • Environmental and taxonomic controls of carbon and oxygen stable isotope composition in Sphagnum across broad climatic and geographic ranges

      Rain-fed peatlands are dominated by peat mosses (Sphagnum sp.), which for their growth depend on nutrients, water and CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. As the isotopic composition of carbon (12,13C) and oxygen (16,18O) of ...

      The relative importance of global versus local environmental factors for growth and thus carbon uptake of the bryophyte genus Sphagnum—the main peat-former and ecosystem engineer in northern peatlands—remains unclear. We ...
    • 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 ...
