Tundra vegetation change and impacts on permafrost
Tundra vegetation productivity and composition are responding rapidly to climatic changes
in the Arctic. These changes can, in turn, mitigate or amplify permafrost thaw. In this Review …

Arctic tundra shrubification: a review of mechanisms and impacts on ecosystem carbon balance
Vegetation composition shifts, and in particular, shrub expansion across the Arctic tundra
are some of the most important and widely observed responses of high-latitude ecosystems …

Fluctuating Atlantic inflows modulate Arctic atlantification
Enhanced warm, salty subarctic inflows drive high-latitude atlantification, which weakens
oceanic stratification, amplifies heat fluxes, and reduces sea ice. In this work, we show that …

Recent trends and drivers of regional sources and sinks of carbon dioxide
The land and ocean absorb on average just over half of the anthropogenic emissions of
carbon dioxide (CO 2) every year. These CO 2" sinks" are modulated by climate change and …

Plot-scale evidence of tundra vegetation change and links to recent summer warming
Temperature is increasing at unprecedented rates across most of the tundra biome. Remote-
sensing data indicate that contemporary climate warming has already resulted in increased …

Ecological consequences of sea-ice decline
After a decade with nine of the lowest arctic sea-ice minima on record, including the
historically low minimum in 2012, we synthesize recent developments in the study of …

Temperature and vegetation seasonality diminishment over northern lands
Global temperature is increasing, especially over northern lands (> 50° N), owing to positive
feedbacks. As this increase is most pronounced in winter, temperature seasonality (ST) …
