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 …

Elevational and polar treelines have been studied for more than two centuries. The aim of
the present article is to highlight in retrospect the scope of treeline research, scientific …

Recent climate warming and scenarios for further warming have led to expectations of rapid
movement of ecological boundaries. Here we focus on the circumarctic forest–tundra …

We collected the available relative pollen productivity estimates (PPEs) for 27 major pollen
taxa from Eurasia and applied them to estimate plant abundances during the last 40 ka cal …

Vegetation is responding to climate change, which is especially prominent in the Arctic.
Vegetation change is manifest in different ways and varies regionally, depending on the …

Climate-induced northward advance of boreal forest is expected to lessen albedo, alter
carbon stocks, and replace tundra, but where and when this advance will occur remains …

Climate change is expected to cause major shifts in boreal forests which are in vast areas of
Siberia dominated by two species of the deciduous needle tree larch (Larix). The species …

Issue Despite their rather similar climatic conditions, eastern Eurasia and northern North
America are largely covered by different plant functional types (deciduous or evergreen …

The biodiversity of tundra areas in northern high latitudes is threatened by invasion of forests
under global warming. However, poorly understood nonlinear responses of the treeline …

The subarctic forest tundra transition zone is one of the most vulnerable ecological regions
worldwide and susceptible to climate change. Forest changes could lead to biodiversity …
