Although further investigations are required to determine the degree to which these findings are generalizable across the tundra biome, our results indicate that consistency and caution in the choice of plant parts are a key consideration for the success of future dendroclimatological studies on shrubs...

angustifolia encroaching in alpine tundra by conducting experiments for two vegetation types (shrubs and herbs) by real- time PCR and Illumina Miseq sequencing methods. The treatments consisted of D. angustifolia sites (DA), native sites (NS, NH) and encroaching sites (ES, EH). Our results ...
The tundra is covered in marshes, lakes and streams during the warm summers. Since the Tundra ecosystems are very cold, the biodiversity is low, with few plant species and land mammals adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions. Polar bears are an example of the land mammals adapted to...
One abiotic factor that determines where a given biome occurs is temperature. What's the other? What are some of the biotic and abiotic phenomena that exist in the tundra? What are all the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic fac...
Plant–plant interactions are key drivers of treeline dynamics. At the Pyrenean treeline, the dwarf shrub Vaccinium myrtillus grows in pure stands or
Using CCM3-IBIS we completely remove the vegetation cover of a particular biome and compare it to a control simulation where the biome is present, thereby isolating the climatic effects of each biome. Results from the tropical and boreal forest removal simulations are in agreement with previous ...
TUNDRASSoil respiration (Rs) is a widely monitored parameter in global forest management that results in activities that contribute to ecosystem functions. Rs can vary depending on different disturbance levels and ecosystem types as a result of changes in forest management practices. Understanding...
In this study, we used a modified P–M approach with biome-specific canopy conductance to estimate daily actual evapotranspiration, which can be partitioned into soil evaporation and canopy transpiration [67,68]. Potential evapotranspiration is calculated using the Priestley and Taylor (P–T) ...
