Tundra plant above-ground biomass and shrub dominance mapped across the North Slope of Alaska
Arctic tundra is becoming greener and shrubbier due to recent warming. This is impacting climate feedbacks and wildlife, yet the spatial distribution of plant biomass in tundra ecosystems is uncertain. In this study, we mapped plant and shrub above-ground biomass (AGB; kg m ^−2 ) and shrub dominance...
