• 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 ...
    • Drivers of plant recruitment in alpine vegetation 

      Nystuen, Kristin Odden (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:394, Doctoral thesis, 2020)
      Hva er viktig for rekruttering av planter i fjellet? Endringer i klima og beite påvirker vegetasjonen i fjellet. Noen arter øker i utbredelse, mens andre er i nedgang. Det fører til nye sammensetninger av plantesamfunn. ...
    • Experimental herbivore exclusion, shrub introduction, and carbon sequestration in alpine plant communities 

      Sørensen, Mia Vedel; Graae, Bente Jessen; Hagen, Dagmar; Enquist, Brian J.; Nystuen, Kristin Odden; Strimbeck, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background Shrub cover in arctic and alpine ecosystems has increased in recent decades, and is predicted to further increase with climate change. Changes in shrub abundance may alter ecosystem carbon (C) sequestration and ...
    • Herbivores reduce seedling recruitment in alpine plant communities 

      H. Opedal, Øystein; Nystuen, Kristin Odden; Hagen, Dagmar; Holien, Håkon; Sørensen, Mia Vedel; Lang, Simone; Lindmo, Sigrid; Strimbeck, Richard; Graae, Bente Jessen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Through changes in climate and other environmental factors, alpine tundra ecosystems are subject to increased cover of erect shrubs, reduced predictability of rodent dynamics and changes in wild and domesticated herbivore ...
    • Lichens facilitate seedling recruitment in alpine heath 

      Nystuen, Kristin Odden; Sundsdal, Kristine; Opedal, Øystein Hjorthol; Holien, Håkon; Strimbeck, Richard; Graae, Bente Jessen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Questions How do mat thickness, physical structure and allelopathic properties of terricolous mat‐forming lichens affect recruitment of vascular plants in dwarf‐shrub and lichen heath vegetation? Location The mountains of ...
    • On the Interaction between Rodents and Alpine Plant Communities 

      Nystuen, Kristin Odden (Master thesis, 2012)
      Rodents with cyclic population dynamics are important herbivores in alpine areas with major effects on vegetation composition, biomass and diversity. Many places in Fennoscandia the population cycles in lemmings and voles ...
    • TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
