      As the Arctic warms, vegetation is responding, and satellite measures indicate widespread greening at high latitudes. This ‘greening of the Arctic’ is among the world’s most important large-scale ecological responses to ...
    • Development of new metrics to assess and quantify climatic drivers of Extreme event driven Arctic browning 

      Treharne, Rachael; Bjerke, Jarle W.; Tømmervik, Hans; Phoenix, Gareth H. (Journal article, 2020)
      Rapid climate change in Arctic regions is resulting in more frequent extreme climatic events. These can cause large-scale vegetation damage, and are therefore among key drivers of declines in biomass and productivity (or ...
    • Extreme event impacts on CO2 fluxes across a range of high latitude, shrub-dominated ecosystems 

      Treharne, Rachael; Bjerke, Jarle W.; Tømmervik, Hans; Phoenix, Gareth K. (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 ...
    • Understanding the drivers of extensive plant damage in boreal and Arctic ecosystems: Insights from field surveys in the aftermath of damage 

      Bjerke, Jarle W.; Treharne, Rachael; Vikhamar-Schuler, Dagrun; Karlsen, Stein Rune; Ravolainen, Virve; Bokhorst, Stef; Phoenix, Gareth K.; Bochenek, Zbigniew; Tømmervik, Hans (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      The exact cause of population dieback in nature is often challenging to identify retrospectively. Plant research in northern regions has in recent decades been largely focussed on the opposite trend, namely increasing ...
