Time-series maps reveal widespread change in plant functional type cover across Arctic and boreal Alaska and Yukon
Widespread changes in the distribution and abundance of plant functional types (PFTs) are occurring in Arctic and boreal ecosystems due to the intensification of disturbances, such as fire, and climate-driven vegetation dynamics, such as tundra shrub expansion. To understand how these changes affect boreal and tundra ecosystems, we need to first quantify change for multiple PFTs across recent years. While landscape patches are generally composed …
Lichen cover mapping for caribou ranges in interior Alaska and Yukon
Previous research indicates that the effects of climate warming, including shrub expansion and increased fire frequency may lead to declining lichen abundance in arctic tundra and northern alpine areas. Lichens are important forage for caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ), whose populations are declining throughout most of North America. To clarify how lichen cover might affect caribou resource selection, ecologists require better data on the spatial di…
Multi-decadal patterns of vegetation succession after tundra fire on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska
Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) is one of the warmest parts of the Arctic tundra biome and tundra fires are common in its upland areas. Here, we combine field measurements, Landsat observations, and quantitative cover maps for tundra plant functional types (PFTs) to characterize multi-decadal succession and landscape change after fire in lichen-dominated upland tundra of the YKD, where extensive wildfires occurred in 1971–1972, 1985, 2006–20…
Aportes al conocimiento de la biota liquénica del oasis de neblina de Alto Patache, Desierto de Atacama
Los denominados oasis de neblina son reas en las zonas costeras del Desierto de Atacama donde el ingreso habitual de niebla permite el establecimiento y desarrollo de diversas poblaciones de plantas vasculares, generando verdaderos hotspots de diversidad. En estas reas, la biota liquenolgica ha sido poco explorada y representa uno de los elementos perennes ms importantes que conforman la comunidad. En un estudio previo de la biota del oasis de ne…
