Climate change. Increasing shrub abundance in the Arctic.

TL;DR: Evidence for a widespread increase in shrub abundance over more than 320 km of Arctic landscape during the past 50 years is presented, based on a comparison of historic and modern aerial photographs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Land-Surface Changes in Arctic Summer Warming

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.
