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 …

The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem
functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental …

Plant root systems rely on a functionally diverse range of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to,
among other benefits, extend their nutrient foraging. Extended nutrient foraging is likely of …

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 …

Harsh winters are a characteristic element of Arctic ecosystems, yet the importance of winter
conditions for Arctic plant communities is still underrepresented in climate change impact …

Abstract For over 40 years, Plant Functional Types (PFTs) have been used to discretize
the∼ 400,000 species of terrestrial plants into “similar” classes. Within Earth System Models …

The majority of variation in six traits critical to the growth, survival and reproduction of plant
species is thought to be organised along just two dimensions, corresponding to strategies of …

Comparisons of vegetation production between temperate and alpine grasslands are not
well studied, and the understanding of the underlying mechanisms is still incomplete. To …

Elucidating biomass partitioning between above-and belowground parts in plant
communities is vital to better assessing the ecological services of terrestrial ecosystems …

Species traits may determine plant interactions along with soil microbiome, further sha**
plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs). However, how plant traits modulate PSFs and, consequently …
