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 …

Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation
determines ground temperature, light conditions, and moisture availability during winter. It …

The internal soil nitrogen (N) cycle supplies N to plants and microorganisms but may induce
N pollution in the environment. Understanding the variability of gross N cycling rates …

Unprecedented modern rates of warming are expected to advance boreal forest into Arctic
tundra, thereby reducing albedo,–, altering carbon cycling and further changing climate …

Abstract Knowledge-based nitrogen (N) management provides better synchronization of
crop N demand with N supply to enhance crop production while reducing N losses. Yet, how …

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from
estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic …

Recent warming in the Arctic, which has been amplified during the winter,–, greatly
enhances microbial decomposition of soil organic matter and subsequent release of carbon …

Extreme weather events are occurring more frequently, and research has shown that plant
diversity can help mitigate the impacts of climate change by increasing plant productivity and …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Its
temperature sensitivity Q10 (which is defined as the factor of change in mineralization with a …

Recent research using repeat photography, long-term ecological monitoring and
dendrochronology has documented shrub expansion in arctic, high-latitude and alpine …
