TL;DR: It is shown that terrestrial changes in summer albedo contribute substantially to recent high-latitude warming trends and the continuation of current trends in shrub and tree expansion could further amplify this atmospheric heating by two to seven times.

TL;DR: Warming increased height and cover of deciduous shrubs and graminoids, decreased cover of mosses and lichens, and decreased species diversity and evenness, which predict that warming will cause a decline in biodiversity across a wide variety of tundra, at least in the short term.
