The ability of many species to adapt to the shifting environmental conditions associated with
climate change will be a key determinant of their persistence in the coming decades. This is …

The productive performance of large ungulates in extensive pastoral grazing systems is
modulated simultaneously by the effects of climate change and human intervention …

Arctic precipitation in the form of rain is forecast to become more prevalent in a warmer world
but with seasonal and interannual changes modulated by natural modes of variability …

When rain falls on an existing cover of snow, followed by low temperatures, or falls as
freezing rain, it can leave a hard crust. These Arctic rain on snow (ROS) events can …

Extreme climate events often cause population crashes but are difficult to account for in
population-dynamic studies. Especially in long-lived animals, density dependence and …

Arctic winters have become increasingly warmer and rainier. Where permafrost prevails,
winter rain (or rain-on-snow) is known to occasionally cause extensive ice layers at the …

Snow covers Arctic and boreal regions (ABRs) for approximately 9 months of the year, thus
snowscapes dominate the form and function of tundra and boreal ecosystems. In recent …

Changes in mass, extent, duration, and physical properties of snow are key elements for
studying associated climate change feedbacks in northern regions. In this study, we …

Arctic rain-on-snow (ROS) deposits liquid water onto existing snowpacks. Upon refreezing,
this can form icy crusts at the surface or within the snowpack. By altering radar backscatter …

Abstract Increased surface temperatures (0.7° C per decade) in the Arctic affects polar
ecosystems by reducing the extent and duration of annual snow cover. Monitoring of these …
