The Arctic is rapidly changing from the climate crisis, with no "new normal," scientists warn. Wildfires and permafrost thaw are making the tundra emit more carbon than it absorbs. From beaver ...
The unique vegetation of the Arctic tundra could disappear by the year 2050 if no substantial reduction in global warming is achieved, scientists have warned. Experts at the Alfred Wegener Institute's ...
1. Climate warming is faster in the Arctic than the global average. Nutrient availability in the tundra soil is expected to increase by climate warming through (i) accelerated nutrient mobilization in ...
Landslides have long-term effects on tundra vegetation, a new study shows. Conducting the study in North West Siberia, the researchers found that tundra vegetation regenerated rapidly after a major ...
Aims For informed predictions on the sensitivity of Arctic tundra landscape to permafrost thaw, we aimed to investigate the distribution pattern of near-surface ground ice and its influencing factors ...
Tundra plants can eek out an existence in the very short summers of the Canadian High Arctic such as here on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut. (Anne Bjorkman, University of Gothenburg) Rapid climate change ...
Researchers report impacts of warming on the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Arctic tundra vegetation. The release of VOCs from plants is a temperature-dependent phenomenon. Although ...
Climate change is causing the subarctic tundra to warm twice as fast as the global average, and this warming is speeding up the activity of the plant life. Researchers have now elucidated how this ...
