F. S. Chapin,Matthew Sturm,Mark C. Serreze,Joe McFadden,Jeffrey R. Key,Andrea H. Lloyd,A. D. McGuire,T.S. Rupp,Amanda H. Lynch,Joshua P. Schimel,Jason Beringer,William L. Chapman,Howard E. Epstein,Eugénie S. Euskirchen,Larry D. Hinzman,Gensuo Jia,Chien-Lu Ping,Ken D. Tape,Catharine C. Thompson,Donald A. Walker,Jeffrey M. Welker +20 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evidence for shrub expansion in Northern Alaska and the Pan‐Arctic
TL;DR: Using 202 pairs of old and new oblique aerial photographs, this article found that across this region spanning 620 km east to west and 350 km north to south, alder, willow and dwarf birch have been increasing, with the change most easily detected on hill slopes and valley bottoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article used repeat photography, long-term ecological monitoring and dendrochronology to document shrub expansion in arctic, high-latitude and alpine tundra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing of vegetation and land-cover change in Arctic Tundra Ecosystems

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the application of multi-temporal remote sensing for monitoring changes of Arctic tundra lands is presented, focusing on results from the National Science Foundation Land-Air-Ice Interactions (LAII) program and on optical remote sensing techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pan-Arctic ice-wedge degradation in warming permafrost and its influence on tundra hydrology

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use field and remote sensing observations to document polygon succession due to ice-wedge degradation and trough development in ten Arctic localities over subdecadal timescales.
