      Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, ...

      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 ...
    • Documenting lemming population change in the Arctic: Can we detect trends?

      Lemmings are a key component of tundra food webs and changes in their dynamics can affect the whole ecosystem. We present a comprehensive overview of lemming monitoring and research activities, and assess recent trends ...
    • Ecosystem change and stability over multiple decades in the Swedish subarctic: complex processes and multiple drivers

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The subarctic environment of northernmost Sweden has changed over the past century, particularly elements of climate and cryosphere. This paper presents a unique geo-referenced record of environmental and ecosystem ...
    • The ecosystem effects of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in northern Fennoscandia: Past, present and future 

      Stark, Sari; Horstkotte, Tim; Kumpula, Jouko; Olofsson, Johan; Tømmervik, Hans; Turunen, Minna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The semi-domesticated nature of the reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) makes it a distinct case among the world’s herbivores. Here, we review the literature on how reindeer shape vegetation and soil carbon and nitrogen cycles ...
    • Vole and lemming activity observed from space 

      Olofsson, Johan; Tømmervik, Hans; Callaghan, T.V. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Predicting the impacts of present global warming requires an understanding of the factors controlling plant biomass and production. The extent to which they are controlled by bottom-up drivers such as climate, nutrient and ...
    • Where do the treeless tundra areas of northern highlands fit in the global biome system: toward an ecologically natural subdivision of the tundra biome
