Arctic plants serve as early indicators of climate change, revealing critical shifts in ecosystems that impact the planet's future. The post Arctic Plants: Early Indicators of Climate Change Effects ...

A recent study has found that climate change is altering Arctic plant composition, with some species declining in response to ...

With the Arctic warming faster than the global average, researchers at UBC and the University of Edinburgh have made an ...

Fast warming in the Arctic - now running at roughly four times the global average - is reshaping landscapes, affecting shrubs ...

a postdoctoral researcher in tundra biodiversity at the University of Edinburgh. “Warmer temperatures are bringing in more species, but not everywhere. Shrubs are reshaping the Arctic ecosystem, but ...

Many plants on the tundra are low-growing to withstand strong winds, and if it gets warmer, more species can become established, increasing biodiversity in some places. "But where the shrubs take ...

Landscape fires trigger soil erosion processes: the tundra's upper cover, being left without plant protection, warms up faster and deeper, which leads to a significant degradation of the permafrost.

Wildlife presenter Ferne Corrigan takes a look at the Arctic tundra and how plants and animals have adapted to live in this biome. Ferne describes the location of the tundra biomes around the ...

With the Arctic warming faster than the global average, researchers at UBC and the University of Edinburgh have made an important discovery about tundra plants and how they are adapting faster ...
