Homage to Hersteinsson and Macdonald: climate warming and resource subsidies cause red fox range expansion and Arctic fox decline
Climate change can have a marked effect on the distribution and abundance of some
species, as well as their interspecific interactions. In 1992, before ecological effects of …

Woody plant encroachment intensifies under climate change across tundra and savanna biomes
Aim Biomes worldwide are shifting with global change. Biomes whose extents are limited by
temperature or precipitation, such as the tundra and savanna, may be particularly strongly …

Disturbances in North American boreal forest and Arctic tundra: impacts, interactions, and responses
Abstract Ecosystems in the North American Arctic-Boreal Zone (ABZ) experience a diverse
set of disturbances associated with wildfire, permafrost dynamics, geomorphic processes …

Multiscale map** of plant functional groups and plant traits in the High Arctic using field spectroscopy, UAV imagery and Sentinel-2A data
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to rapid changes in
species composition and plant functional trait variation. Landscape-level maps of vegetation …

Species migrations and range shifts: A synthesis of causes and consequences
In increasingly changing environments, plant species are forced to either adapt to novel
conditions or shift their ranges to track their ecological niches. Those species that can …
