There are three types of tundra found in the world - Arctic tundra, Antarctic tundra, and Alpine tundra. Alpine tundra are found in areas of higher elevation, like the tops of mountains. The Antarctic tundra is found on Antarctic islands. The Arctic tundra is found covering Alaska, Canada, ...

In areas dominated by the tundra climate type, winters are long and cold (temperatures may be below 0 °C [32 °F] for 6 to 10 months), especially in the region north of theArctic Circlewhere, for at least one day in the year, the Sun does not rise. Winter precipitation generally ...

Based on the Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) (Walker et al., 2005), the main tundra involved in this study could be classified into five categories (Figure 1, Table S1). W1 are wetland complexes in the colder areas of the Arctic, dominated by sedges, grasses, and mosses with ...

In the high mountains and plateau, such as the northern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in west China, the aridity (the ratio of potential evaporation to precipitation) exceeds 10 and is as high as 40 in some areas. Thus, in these soils, soluble salts often accumulate on the soil surface and the ...
We highlighted insignificant bins on figures as grey shaded areas, which indicate scales at which the amount of within-species variation is not significantly different from among-species variation. We examined (1) the mean contribution of within-species and among-species variation to overall trait ...
