Increased snow depth affects microbial activity and nitrogen mineralization in two Arctic tundra communities
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 …

Winter snow and spring temperature have differential effects on vegetation phenology and productivity across Arctic plant communities
Tundra dominates two‐thirds of the unglaciated, terrestrial Arctic. Although this region has
experienced rapid and widespread changes in vegetation phenology and productivity over …

Contrasting effects of warming and increased snowfall on Arctic tundra plant phenology over the past two decades
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 …
