npj Climate and Atmospheric Science - Summer 2024 in northern Fennoscandia was very likely the warmest in 2000 years

The Arctic harbours uniquely adapted biodiversity and plays an important role in climate regulation. Strong warming trends in the terrestrial Arctic have been linked to an increase in aboveground bio....

Two sites in northern Alaska representative of the circumpolar tundra biome were periodically sampled over more than three decades. Plant canopies both grew taller and increased in complexity while m...

How the carbon stocks of the Arctic–Boreal Zone change with warming is not well understood. Here the authors show that wildfires and large regional differences in net carbon fluxes offset the overall ...

Arctic ecosystems are experiencing extreme climatic, biotic and physical disturbance events that can cause substantial loss of plant biomass and productivity, sometimes at scales of >1000 km2. Collect...

This study presents more accurate future extreme precipitation projections at local scales constrained by past warming observations using an adaptative emergent constraint approach.

Deep permafrost soils produce comparable amounts of greenhouse gases as shallow soils in response to warming, according to incubation experiments of deep Arctic lake sediments.

The authors use multidecadal, high-resolution data to investigate the spatial variability of vegetation greening in European mountains. They show that changes in snow cover duration play a more signif...

Arctic warming has led to widespread greening across the tundra. Utilizing remote-sensing and field data, this study identifies a positive fire–greening feedback loop operating across regional scales ...

Permafrost in Europe’s mountains has warmed by more than 1 °C per decade in certain places, matching the levels in Arctic lowlands. The strongest warming occurred at cold bedrock at the highest elevat...

(1) The broad-scale patterns in the distribution and ecology of European tundra have been disputed for long. We attempt solutions by introducing ecologically meaningful and sound guidelines for bioge...

The Western Arctic Herd, a large but declining caribou population, has shifted its main wintering range from lichen-rich coastal tundra in the southwesternmost portion of its range to mountainous are...

We investigate the relationship between vegetation greening and photosynthesis in northern ecosystems from 2001 to 2022. Using satellite data, we found that while vegetation photosynthesis has genera...

Herbivores drive shifts in plant species composition by interacting with vegetation through defoliation, trampling and nutrient addition: urine and faeces. As herbivore effects on vegetation accumula....

Arctic warming is thought to lead to large losses in soil carbon stocks. Here a 35-year-long fertilization experiment in Alaska shows that increased shrub productivity and changes in plant–microbial f...
