Experimental herbivore exclusion, shrub introduction, and carbon sequestration in alpine plant communities

Abstract Background Shrub cover in arctic and alpine ecosystems has increased in recent decades, and is predicted to further increase with climate change. Changes in shrub abundance may alter ecosystem carbon (C) sequestration and storage, with potential positive feedback on global C cycling. Small...
