Projections indicate that alpine tundra-specific vegetation may begin to disappear as global warming persists. We develop a context for possible changes to inform modeling, monitoring and mitigation strategies. We ask the degree to which similarity of floras is associated with climatic differences versus...

Currently, narrow-headed voles inhabit various open landscapes: from tundra and local sandy areas along major rivers to alpine meadows and steppes [13]. It has been shown that the narrow-headed vole species complex is represented by at least two species, which probably diverged at the beginning...

On southwestern Cumberland Peninsula, Baffin Island, Minimal Podzol (Pergelic Cryopsamments), Arctic Brown (P. Cryorthents), and Tundra (P. Cryaquepts) soils occur along moist fiords and Polar Desert (P. Cryorthents) soils occur in the m... JG Bockheim - 《Arctic & Alpine Research》...
Eastern Asia represents an ideal continental scale system to explore a complete vegetation gradient from tropical forest to arctic tundra. Comparing the topological properties of the nodes associated with forest soil in different climatic regions and examining network-level topological features can provide ...

of the lichen holobiont. Nevertheless, the ecological features of lichen-associated microbes are still underestimated. To explore the untapped ecological diversity of lichen-associated bacteria, we adopted a novel culturomic approach on the crustose lichenRhizocarpon geographicum. We sampledR. geographic...
