Borealization of tundra ecosystems with climate and land-use change
As the colder regions of the planet warm, species are moving northward and upward from the boreal forest to the tundra biome, a process that has been referred to as borealization. Here, we examine the diverse uses of the term borealization and propose the concept of ‘tundra borealization’ for terrestrial environments to specifically describe shifts and increases in abundance of boreal species into the tundra. We summarize the evidence to date for…
Reindeer use of low Arctic tundra correlates with landscape structure
Rapid climate change in Arctic regions is linked to the expansion of woody taxa ( shrubification ), and an increase in biomass as tundra becomes greener. Reindeer and caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ) are considered able to suppress vegetative greening through grazing and trampling. Quantifying reindeer use of different land cover types can help us understand their impact on the growth and recruitment of deciduous shrubs, many of which serve as fodde…
Periglacial vegetation dynamics in Arctic Russia: Decadal analysis of tundra regeneration on landslides with time series satellite imagery
Changes in vegetation productivity based on normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) have been reported from Arctic regions. Most studies use very coarse spatial resolution remote sensing data that cannot isolate landscape level factors. For example, on Yamal Peninsula in West Siberia enhanced willow growth has been linked to widespread landslide activity, but the effect of landslides on regional NDVI dynamics is unknown. Here we apply a nov…
