Journal ArticleDOI
A new climate era in the sub-Arctic: Accelerating climate changes and multiple impacts
Terry V. Callaghan,Terry V. Callaghan,Fredrik Bergholm,Torben R. Christensen,Christer Jonasson,Ulla Kokfelt,Margareta Johansson,Margareta Johansson +7 more
TL;DR: Callaghan et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the Swedish sub-Arctic has reached a level at which statistical analysis shows for the first time that current warming has exceeded that in the late 1930' s and early 1940' s, and has significantly crossed the 0 degrees C mean annual temperature threshold which causes many cryospheric and ecological impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A century of tree line changes in sub-Arctic Sweden shows local and regional variability and only a minor influence of 20th century climate warming
Rik Van Bogaert,Kristof Haneca,Jan Hoogesteger,Christer Jonasson,Christer Jonasson,Morgan De Dapper,Terry V. Callaghan,Terry V. Callaghan +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used repeat photography, dendrochronological analysis, field observations along elevational transects and historical documents to study tree line dynamics in a sub-Arctic model area at different temporal and spatial scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem change and stability over multiple decades in the Swedish subarctic: complex processes and multiple drivers.
Terry V. Callaghan,Terry V. Callaghan,Christer Jonasson,Tomas Thierfelder,Zhenlin Yang,Zhenlin Yang,Henrik Hedenås,Margareta Johansson,Margareta Johansson,Ulf Molau,Ulf Molau,Rik Van Bogaert,Anders Michelsen,Johan Olofsson,Dylan Gwynn-Jones,Stef Bokhorst,Gareth K. Phoenix,Jarle W. Bjerke,Hans Tømmervik,Torben R. Christensen,Edward Hanna,Eva K. Koller,Eva K. Koller,Victoria L. Sloan,Victoria L. Sloan +24 more
TL;DR: A unique geo-referenced record of environmental and ecosystem observations from the area since 1913 is presented, which is of immediate relevance to local stakeholders who need to adapt to new opportunities and to respond to challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree and Shrub Expansion Over the Past 34 Years at the Tree-Line Near Abisko, Sweden
Sara Rundqvist,Henrik Hedenås,Anneli Sandström,Urban Emanuelsson,Håkan Eriksson,Christer Jonasson,Terry V. Callaghan,Terry V. Callaghan +7 more
TL;DR: Although this study was unable to identify the causes for the change in shrubs and small trees, they are consistent with anticipated changes due to climate change and reduced herbivory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem responses to increased precipitation and permafrost decay in subarctic Sweden inferred from peat and lake sediments
Ulla Kokfelt,Peter Rosén,Kristian Schoning,Torben R. Christensen,Johannes Förster,Jan Karlsson,Nina Reuss,Mats Rundgren,Terry V. Callaghan,Terry V. Callaghan,Christer Jonasson,Dan Hammarlund +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attributed accelerated decay of discontinuous permafrost at the Stordalen Mire in northern Sweden to increased temperature and snow depth, and caused expansion of wet minerotrop...
