Time-series maps reveal widespread change in plant functional type cover across Arctic and boreal Alaska and Yukon

Widespread changes in the distribution and abundance of plant functional types (PFTs) are occurring in Arctic and boreal ecosystems due to the intensification of disturbances, such as fire, and climate-driven vegetation dynamics, such as tundra shrub expansion. To understand how these changes affect...
