🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸
Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions.

Marine ecosystems across the globe are under pressure requiring evaluations of whether marine protected areas (MPAs) remain effective in safeguarding …
This study assesses the concentration of trace elements in muskox qiviut (hair) in populations with different trajectories. We found that certain elements, including copper, selenium and iron, were m....
Large herbivores are key species in tundra ecosystems - and as the Arctic continues to warm, ungulates move north. In Northeast Greenland, this leaves behind plant communities that are no longer contr...
