The current state of CO2 flux chamber studies in the Arctic tundra: A review
AM Virkkala, T Virtanen, A Lehtonen… - Progress in …, 2018 - journals.sagepub.com
The Arctic tundra plays an important role in the carbon cycle as it stores 50% of global soil
organic carbon reservoirs. The processes (fluxes) regulating these stocks are predicted to …

Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems?
The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem
functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental …

Ecosystem feedbacks and cascade processes: understanding their role in the responses of Arctic and alpine ecosystems to environmental change
Global environmental change, related to climate change and the deposition of airborne N‐
containing contaminants, has already resulted in shifts in plant community composition …

The bryosphere: an integral and influential component of the Earth's biosphere
Z Lindo, A Gonzalez - Ecosystems, 2010 - Springer
A significant fraction of the Earth's land surface is dominated by bryophytes. Research on
carbon and nitrogen budgets of tundra, boreal, and peatland ecosystems has demonstrated …

The cooling capacity of mosses: controls on water and energy fluxes in a Siberian tundra site
Arctic tundra vegetation composition is expected to undergo rapid changes during the
coming decades because of changes in climate. Higher air temperatures generally favor …

Functional convergence in regulation of net CO₂ flux in heterogeneous tundra landscapes in Alaska and Sweden
1 Arctic landscapes are characterized by extreme vegetation patchiness, often with sharply
defined borders between very different vegetation types. This patchiness makes it difficult to …

Microscale drivers of summer CO2 fluxes in the Svalbard High Arctic tundra
High-Arctic ecosystems are strongly affected by climate change, and it is still unclear
whether they will become a carbon source or sink in the next few decades. In turn, such …

Postfire energy exchange in arctic tundra: the importance and climatic implications of burn severity
Fires produce land cover changes that have consequences for surface energy balance and
temperature. Three eddy covariance towers were setup along a burn severity gradient (ie …

Development of artificial moss-dominated biological soil crusts and their effects on runoff and soil water content in a semi-arid environment
B Xiao, Y Zhao, Q Wang, C Li - Journal of Arid Environments, 2015 - Elsevier
Artificial biological soil crusts (hereafter 'crusts') are promising candidates for the control of
soil and water loss in semi-arid ecosystems. However, their hydrological functions have not …

Responses of Vegetation and Ecosystem CO2 Exchange to 9 Years of Nutrient Addition at Mer Bleue Bog
S Juutinen, JL Bubier, TR Moore - Ecosystems, 2010 - Springer
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) loading has the potential to affect plant community structure and
function, and the carbon dioxide (CO 2) sink of peatlands. Our aim is to study how vegetation …
