  1. 1. Do OTC warming effects on ecosystem processes depend on moss species identity, precipitation, and moss removal?

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Alexina Brännlund; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Experimental warming; Subarctic tundra mosses; Productivity; Ecosystem respiration; Decomposition;

    Sammanfattning : Long-term warming experiments in arctic tundra have resulted in reduced moss cover and increased vascular plant cover. As mosses have a major impact on microclimatic conditions, changes in community composition can potentially alter direct and indirect drivers of productivity and decomposition, which are low in arctic ecosystems.

  3. 2. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Margot Jeanne Knapen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; LPJ-GUESS; Arctic; FLUXNET; Gross Primary Productivity; Ecosystem Respiration; Permafrost; Active Layer Thickness; Snow Depth; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Plant community responses to 15 years of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization along an elevational gradient in the subarctic tundra

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Gaya Ten Kate; [2023]
    Nyckelord :arctic tundra; climate change; fertilization; nitrogen; phosphorus; plant community composition; species richness; Simpson’s diversity; Shannon-Wiener diversity; elevational gradient;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change in the Arctic has profound effects on tundra vegetation, directly through increasing temperatures and indirectly through changes in plant community composition and nutrient cycling. Fertilization experiments are widely used to study the effects of increased nutrient availability on arctic tundra vegetation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
    Nyckelord :microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. LÄS MER

  7. 5. THE INFLUENCE OF TUNDRA VEGETATION ON SOIL TEMPERATURES

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Edith Aspelin; [2022-09-28]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The arctic has experienced more rapid global warming and is more sensitive to temperature changes compared with the rest of the world. We can already see how vegetation distributed across the arctic tundra has changed in composition, height, and abundance. LÄS MER
