Journal ArticleDOI

Global importance of large‐diameter trees

James A. Lutz, +98 more
TL;DR: Because large-diameter trees constitute roughly half of the mature forest biomass worldwide, their dynamics and sensitivities to environmental change represent potentially large controls on global forest carbon cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extinction of a weakly armoured threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) population in Prator Lake, Alaska

TL;DR: Samples from Prator Lake in southcentral Alaska consist of the relatively rare form of weakly armoured individuals with few lateral plates and no pelvic spines, which may have been vulnerable to an exotic predator.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gall-inducing arthropod drives declines in canopy tree photosynthesis

TL;DR: Increased galling levels and higher physiological susceptibility in older canopy trees thus suggest that gall-inducing mites may be major drivers of “age-dependent” reductions in the physiological performance and growth of older trees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sap flow responses to seasonal thaw and permafrost degradation in a subarctic boreal peatland

TL;DR: In this paper, the negative impacts of ground thaw on sap flow in black spruce trees were demonstrated, which may inform observed warming-related productivity declines in subarctic forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diurnal patterns of gas‐exchange and metabolic pools in tundra plants during three phases of the arctic growing season

TL;DR: In situ diurnal patterns of physiological activity and foliar metabolites during the early, mid, and late growing season in seven arctic species under light-saturated conditions are examined, finding clear diurnal pattern in photosynthesis and respiration with midday peaks and midnight lulls indicative of circadian regulation.
