TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a long-term and multisite warming (OTC) experiment in the Scandinavian forest-tundra ecotone to investigate changes in plant community composition and responses in foliar nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon-based secondary compound concentrations in two dominant evergreen dwarf-shrubs (Empetrum hermaphroditum and Vaccinium vitis-idaea) and two deciduous shrubs (Vaccinium myrtillus and Betula nana).

TL;DR: The results suggest that incorporating differential responses of PFT is important for predicting vegetation shifts, primary productivity, and in turn, ecosystem functioning in a changing climate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a ground-based dataset is used for correct interpretation of remote sensing data in the West-Siberian Arctic, which has been exposed to rapid land-cover and land-use changes during the last 50 years.

TL;DR: The local flora method has been used by Russian botanists for studying vast wilderness areas as mentioned in this paper, which strives to determine the total flora within a certain limited area and provides comparable d...
