Barren tundra lands, home to hardy flora and fauna, are one of the Earth's coldest, harshest biomes.
Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome, shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit from warming. Winner and loser species, and the characteristics that may determine success or failure
Ongoing environmental change further influences the composition of herbivore communities [5]. Currently, vertebrate herbivore diversity strongly declines northwards across the tundra biome [19], suggesting that climate warming could substantially reshape these communities. Indeed, warming trends have already be...
We found that plant trait relationships among tundra species were consistent with global patterns (Fig.2b, d), despite a limited range of trait values and lower species richness in the tundra biome. The two dimensions of global trait space (plant size and resource economics) aligned with trait ...
This information was used to interpolate the necessary data for all the tundra cells (1× 1 degree) of the simple GIS, based on the Global Vegetation Map and the FAO/UNESCO Soil Map of the World. By integrating the corresponding maps of phytomass and productivity the quantitative estimates of...

The Arctic tundra biome is the treless fringe of land that surrounds the arctic Ocean. The terrestrial area of the biome, excluding glaciers and alpine areas cover about 5.14 million km~2, and area about the half the size of the US or 3.4%of the total land surface of the world.D. A...

New Cyclecurrently has a Meadow, Tundra, and Steppe biome, with a Mountain biome slated to release in the future. On top of the basic city-builder concepts, the game has a few other mechanics that make it stand out, includinga World Map that can be "explored" by sending out surveying ...
