Marilyn D. Walker,C. Henrik Wahren,Robert D. Hollister,Greg H. R. Henry,Lorraine E. Ahlquist,Juha M. Alatalo,M. Syndonia Bret-Harte,Monika P. Calef,Terry V. Callaghan,Amy B Carroll,Howard E. Epstein,Ingibjörg S. Jónsdóttir,Julia A. Klein,Borgthor Magnusson,Ulf Molau,Steven F. Oberbauer,Steven P. Rewa,Clare H. Robinson,Gaius R. Shaver,Katharine N. Suding,Catharine C. Thompson,Anne Tolvanen,Ørjan Totland,P. Lee Turner,Craig E. Tweedie,P. J. Webber,Philip A. Wookey +26 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alaska's changing fire regime--implications for the vulnerability of its boreal forests
Eric S. Kasischke,David L. Verbyla,T. Scott Rupp,A. David McGuire,Karen Murphy,Randi JandtR. Jandt,Jennifer Barnes,Elizabeth E. Hoy,Paul A. Duffy,Monika P. Calef,Merritt R. Turetsky +10 more
TL;DR: A synthesis was carried out to examine Alaska’s boreal forest fire regime and found that during the 2000s, an average of 767 000 ha·year–1 burned, 50% higher than in any previous decade since the 1940s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing Wildfire in Alaska's Boreal Forest: Pathways to Potential Solutions of a Wicked Problem
F. Stuart Chapin,Sarah F. Trainor,Orville Huntington,Amy Lauren Lovecraft,Erika S. Zavaleta,David C. Natcher,A. David McGuire,Joanna L. Nelson,Lily A. Ray,Monika P. Calef,Nancy Fresco,Henry P. Huntington,T. Scott Rupp,La'ona DeWilde,Rosamond L. Naylor +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of global warming on the wildfire regime and indigenous communities in Alaska are discussed, and the authors suggest an approach for minimizing negative impacts and maximizing positive outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting changes in arctic tundra plant communities in response to warming over decadal time scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the spatial and interannual variability of plant functional type biomass from field studies in low arctic tussock tundra and compared these to climate change simulations of plant community composition using ArcVeg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of vegetation distribution in Interior Alaska and sensitivity to climate change using a logistic regression approach
TL;DR: This data helps to understand drivers of vegetation type distribution and sensitivity to climate change and to understand the role of carbon sequestration in vegetation type distributions.
