• Population genomic evidence for plant glacial survival in Scandinavia 

      Westergaard, Kristine Bakke; Zemp, Niklaus; Bruederle, Leo P.; Stenøien, Hans K.; Widmer, Alex; Fior, Simone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Quaternary glaciations have played a major role in shaping the genetic diversity and distribution of plant species. Strong palaeoecological and genetic evidence supports a postglacial recolonization of most plant species ...
    • Will accelerated soil development be a driver of Arctic Greening in the late 21st century? 

      Doetterl, Sebastian; Alexander, Jake M.; Fior, Simone; Frossard, Aline; Magnabosco, Cara; van de Broek, Marijn; Westergaard, Kristine Bakke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Climate warming is transforming the Arctic at an unprecedented rate with previously barren and sparsely vegetated landscapes undergoing “greening”. We postulate that the observed vegetation changes throughout the Arctic ...
