Generations of plant scientists have been fascinated by alpine plant life-with the exposure of
organisms to dramatic climatic gradients over a very short distance. This comprehensive text …

Microbial activity in Arctic tundra ecosystems continues through the winter and is an
important component of the annual C budget. This activity is sensitive to climatic variation …

Snow cover is one of the most important factors controlling microclimate and plant growing
conditions for Arctic and alpine ecosystems. Climate change is altering snowfall regimes …

Global climate change is predicted to have large impacts on the phenology and
reproduction of alpine plants, which will have important implications for plant demography …

Tundra dominates two‐thirds of the unglaciated, terrestrial Arctic. Although this region has
experienced rapid and widespread changes in vegetation phenology and productivity over …

We investigated experimental warming and simulated grazing (clip**) effects on
rangeland quality, as indicated by vegetation production and nutritive quality, in winter …

Recent changes in climate have led to significant shifts in phenology, with many studies
demonstrating advanced phenology in response to warming temperatures. The rate of …

Abstract Changes in precipitation regimes can strongly affect soil nitrogen (N) cycling in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, whether altered precipitation regimes may differentially …
