Abstract Changes in Arctic vegetation can have important implications for trophic
interactions and ecosystem functioning leading to climate feedbacks. Plot-based vegetation …

Mosses in northern ecosystems are ubiquitous components of plant communities, and
strongly influence nutrient, carbon and water cycling. We use literature review, synthesis and …

Strong evidence for a pan-Arctic expansion of upright shrubs comes from analysis of satellite
imagery, historical photographs, vegetation plots, and growth rings. However, there are still …

The ability of many species to adapt to the shifting environmental conditions associated with
climate change will be a key determinant of their persistence in the coming decades. This is …

Anthropogenic climate change may result in novel disturbances to Arctic tundra ecosystems.
Understanding the natural variability of tundra‐fire regimes and their linkages to climate is …

Recent climatic warming has resulted in pronounced environmental changes in the Arctic,
including shrub cover expansion and sea ice shrinkage. These changes foreshadow more …

Fire causes dramatic short-term changes in vegetation and ecosystem function, and may
promote rapid vegetation change by creating recruitment opportunities. Climate warming …

Archaeological indications for off-site burning by late Pleistocene and early Holocene hunter-
gatherers present intransigent interpretive problems; by contrast, burning practices by recent …

This study assesses the MODIS standard Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function
(BRDF)/Albedo product, and the daily Direct Broadcast BRDF/Albedo algorithm at tundra …

We review and present a synthesis of the existing research dealing with changing Arctic
tundra ecosystems, in relation to caribou and reindeer winter ranges. Whereas pan-Arctic …
