Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation
determines ground temperature, light conditions, and moisture availability during winter. It …

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from
estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic …

The boreal forest biome is a major component of Earth's biosphere and climate system that
is projected to shift northward due to continued climate change over the coming century …

Increased upright vegetation growth (ie trees and shrubs) in northern environments can
profoundly impact ground surface thermal conditions through winter warming (eg enhanced …

The Arctic, characterised by severe climatic conditions and sparse vegetation, is
experiencing rapid warming, with temperatures increasing by up to four times the global rate …

As a result of altitude and latitude amplified climate change, widespread changes in
vegetation composition, density and distribution have been observed across northern …

One of the main goals of ecological studies is to disentangle the dynamics that underlie the
spatiotemporal distribution of biodiversity and further functions of the ecosystem. However …

Peatland permafrost landforms, such as palsas and peat plateaus, often represent the most
southern lowland permafrost occurrences in the Northern Hemisphere. While peatland …

Widespread shrubification across the Arctic has been generally attributed to increasing air
temperatures, but responses vary across species and sites. Wood structures related to the …

Aim This study aims to describe the latitudinal pattern in plant functional groups'(PFGs')
