• Does long-term grazing cause cascading impacts on the soil microbiome in mountain birch forests? 

      Ahonen, Saija H.K.; Ruotsalainen, Anna Liisa; Wäli, Piippa R.; Suominen, Otso; Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Markkola, Annamari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      In subarctic mountain birch forests, reindeer grazing and moth outbreaks act as important biotic drivers of ecosystem functioning. We investigated how a long-term contrast in reindeer grazing regimes and short-term ...
    • Environmental variation as a driver of predator-prey interactions 

      Tablado, Zulimo; Fauchald, Per; Mabille, Geraldine; Stien, Audun; Tveraa, Torkild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Animals often face the trade-off of optimizing foraging while limiting predation. In variable and seasonal environments the availability of resources changes spatially and temporally, forcing animals to adapt their spatial ...
    • Variation in albedo and other vegetation characteristics in non-forested northern ecosystems: the role of lichens and mosses 

      Finne, Eirik Aasmo; Bjerke, Jarle W.; Erlandsson, Rasmus; Tømmervik, Hans; Stordal, Frode; Tallaksen, Lena M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Vegetation has a profound impact on climate through complex interactions and feedback loops, where especially regulation of albedo, the ratio of reflected to incoming solar radiation, is important at high latitudes. How ...
