      Although generally given little attention in vegetation studies, ground-dwelling (terricolous) lichens are major contributors to overall carbon and nitrogen cycling, albedo, biodiversity and biomass in many high-latitude ...
    • Estimating lichen volume and reindeer winter pasture quality from Landsat imagery 

      Falldorf, Tobias; Strand, Olav; Panzacchi, Manuela; Tømmervik, Hans (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Reindeer and caribou are keystone species in the circumpolar region, and rely on lichens as their main winter forage to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Lichen mats, however, can be heavily ...
    • Evaluating MODIS snow products using an extensive wildlife camera network 

      Breen, Catherine; Vuyovich, Carrie; Odden, John; Hall, Dorothy; Prugh, Laura (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Snow covers a maximum of 47 million km2 of Earth’s northern hemisphere each winter and is an important component of the planet’s energy balance, hydrology cycles, and ecosystems. Monitoring regional and global snow cover ...
