Scale‐dependent responses of understory vegetation to the physical structure of undisturbed tundra shrub patches
Abstract Much of the Arctic is experiencing rapid change in the productivity and recruitment of tall, deciduous shrubs. It is well established that shrub expansion can alter tundra ecosystem composition and function; however, less is known about the degree to which variability in the physical struct...
