Global assessment of experimental climate warming on tundra vegetation: heterogeneity over space and time.

Sarah C. Elmendorf, +46 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a synthesis of 61 experimental warming studies, of up to 20 years duration, in tundra sites worldwide, was used to understand the sensitivity of tundras vegetation to climate warming and to forecast future biodiversity and vegetation feedbacks to climate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant functional trait change across a warming tundra biome

Anne D. Bjorkman, +146 more
- 04 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: Biome-wide relationships between temperature, moisture and seven key plant functional traits across the tundra and over time show that community height increased with warming across all sites, whereas other traits lagged behind predicted rates of change.
Journal ArticleDOI

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene

Maria Dornelas, +286 more
TL;DR: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time to enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblage using a broad range of metrics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does post-fire abiotic habitat filtering create divergent plant communities in black spruce forests of eastern Canada?

TL;DR: It is concluded that abiotic habitat filtering of thick ROM (>2 cm) on species’ regeneration traits was the primary driver of community divergence from forest to heath and shrub savannah.
Journal ArticleDOI

Listening to Inuit and Naskapi peoples in the eastern Canadian Subarctic: a quantitative comparison of local observations with gridded climate data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an adapted consensus index to measure the level of agreement in participants' observations and assess the efficacy and utility of converting qualitative statements into quantitative measures for use in statistical models.
