A complete homogenization of water temperatures duringwidespread flooding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Thermal regimes can vary substantially across small geographic distances in rivers,and the factors responsible for creating a diverse thermal landscape can operate onmultiple spatial and temporal extents. This short ... -
Extreme event impacts on CO2 fluxes across a range of high latitude, shrub-dominated ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Arctic is experiencing an increased frequency of extreme events which can cause landscape-scale vegetation damage. Extreme event-driven damage is an important driver of the decline in vegetation productivity (termed ... -
Monitoring Winter Stress Vulnerability of High-Latitude Understory Vegetation Using Intraspecific Trait Variability and Remote Sensing Approaches
(Journal article, 2020)In this study, we focused on three species that have proven to be vulnerable to winter stress: Empetrum nigrum, Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Hylocomium splendens. Our objective was to determine plant traits suitable for ... -
Persistent reduction of segment growth and photosynthesis in a widespread and important sub-Arctic moss species after cessation of three years of experimental winter warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Winter is a period of dormancy for plants of cold environments. However, winter climate is changing, leading to an increasing frequency of stochastic warm periods (winter warming events) and concomitant reductions in ... -
Record-low primary productivity and highplant damage in the Nordic Arctic Region in2012 caused by multiple weather events andpest outbreaks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The release of cold temperature constraints on photosynthesis has led to increased productivity (greening) in significant parts (32–39%) of the Arctic, but much of the Arctic shows stable (57–64%) or reduced productivity ...
