  • Growth rings show limited evidence for ungulates’ potential to suppress shrubs across the Arctic

    Open AccessKatariina E M Vuorinen, Gunnar Austrheim et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Global warming has pronounced effects on tundra vegetation, and rising mean temperatures increase plant growth potential across the Arctic biome. Herbivores may counteract the warming impacts by reducing plant growth, but the strength of this effect may depend on prevailing regional climatic conditions. To study how ungulates interact with temperature to influence growth of tundra shrubs across the Arctic tundra biome, we assembled dendroecologic…

  • Documenting lemming population change in the Arctic

    Open AccessDorothee Ehrich, Niels M Schmidt et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 3References: 39

    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 in lemming abundance across the circumpolar Arctic. Since 2000, lemmings have been monitored at 49 sites of which 38 are still active. The sites were not evenly distributed with notably Russia and high Arctic Canada underrepresente…

  • Arctic terrestrial biodiversity status and trends

    Open AccessJason J Taylor, James P Lawler et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 3References: 42

    This review provides a synopsis of the main findings of individual papers in the special issue Terrestrial Biodiversity in a Rapidly Changing Arctic. The special issue was developed to inform the State of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Report developed by the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), Arctic Council working group. Salient points about the status and trends of Arct…

  • Emergent Rainy Winter Warm Spells May Promote Boreal Predator Expansion into the Arctic

    Open AccessAleksandr Sokolov, Aleksandr A Sokolov et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2016

    Climate change has been characterized as the most serious threat to Arctic biodiversity. In addition to gradual changes such as climate warming, extreme weather events, such as melting temperatures in winter and rain on snow, can have profound consequences for ecosystems. Rain-on-snow events lead to the formation of ice layers in the snow pack, which can restrict access to forage plants and cause crashes of herbivore populations. These direct imp…

  • Changing Arctic snow cover

    Open AccessStef Bokhorst, Stine Højlund Pedersen et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2016

    Snow is a critically important and rapidly changing feature of the Arctic. However, snow-cover and snowpack conditions change through time pose challenges for measuring and prediction of snow. Plausible scenarios of how Arctic snow cover will respond to changing Arctic climate are important for impact assessments and adaptation strategies. Although much progress has been made in understanding and predicting snow-cover changes and their multiple c…

  • Monitoring Least Weasels after a Winter Peak of Lemmings in Taimyr

    Open AccessNicole Feige, Dorothee Ehrich et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2012

    Least weasels are highly specialized small-rodent predators. Despite the fact that they are hypothesized to play an important role in generating the lemming cycles, a key process for the functioning of the terrestrial tundra ecosystem, very little is known about the biology of these miniature carnivores in the Arctic. At Mys Vostochny in western Taimyr, Russia, least weasels were observed for the first time during a lemming peak in 2005, but not …
