TLDR
In this paper, remote sensing data indicate that contemporary climate warming has already resulted in increased productivity and increased productivity in the tundra biome (Tundra Tundra Bi biome).Abstract:
Temperature is increasing at unprecedented rates across most of the tundra biome(1). Remote-sensing data indicate that contemporary climate warming has already resulted in increased productivity ov ...read more

The effects of long-term drainage on processes governing CO2 und CH4 fluxes on an Arctic floodplain in Siberia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how long-term drainage modifies ecosystem properties in an Arctic floodplain in northeastern Siberia, namely plant and microbial community structures and soil temperatures, and quantifies the net effects on CO2 and CH4 fluxes.
Dissertation
Impacts of climate change on Abies spectabilis : an approach integrating a species distribution model (MaxEnt) and a dynamic vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used future climate scenario output from the CCSM4 climate model (RCP 2.6) in two vegetation modeling approaches -the empirical MaxEnt (Maximum entropy) and process-based LPJ-GUESS (Lund-Postdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator).

Winter in a warming Arctic
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of fine-scale variation in winter temperature in explaining the composition and diversity of Arctic plant communities was demonstrated, and it was shown that the fine scale variation of winter temperature can explain the diversity and composition of arctic plant communities.
Dynamics of water, carbon, and nitrogen in forest and alpine tundra ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains of the U.S. under future climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change on watershed ecosystems were investigated using a biogeochemical model, PnET-BGC, which has been extensively applied to the forest ecosystems in the northeastern United States, and the interactive effects of multiple environmental factors on ecosystem function and element dynamics were investigated.

Climatic Signals on Growth Ring Variation in Salix herbacea: Comparing Two Contrasting Sites in Iceland
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the dendrochronological potential of S. herbacea and identified the main environmental factors that are influencing its growth, including tundra browning.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing
Yoav Benjamini,Yosef Hochberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis
TL;DR: This book describes ggplot2, a new data visualization package for R that uses the insights from Leland Wilkisons Grammar of Graphics to create a powerful and flexible system for creating data graphics.

Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming
TL;DR: A meta-analysis shows that species are shifting their distributions in response to climate change at an accelerating rate, and that the range shift of each species depends on multiple internal species traits and external drivers of change.

TL;DR: In this article, the NDVI 8-km equal area dataset from July 1981 through December 2004 for all continents except Antarctica was used to produce a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) 8.
