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.

TL;DR: Schulze et al. as discussed by the authors presented a conceptual framework for interpreting experimental results and predicting effects of global warming on ecosystems, both in the temporal and spatial patterns of change and in how they affect ecosystems.

TL;DR: It is shown that global trait composition is captured by two main dimensions that are only weakly related to macro-environmental drivers, which reflect the trade-offs at the species level but are weakly associated with climate and soil conditions at the global scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) standard warming treatment was used to determine CO2 flux responses to growing-season warming for ecosystems spanning natural temperature and moisture ranges across the Arctic biome.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured carbon dioxide exchange, soil C and N, leaf mineral nutrition and leaf carbon isotope discrimination (LCID-Δ) in three High Arctic tundra ecosystems over 2 years under ambient and long-term (9 years) warmed (∼2°C) conditions.
