Long-term interactions between shrub growth and soil nitrogen availability in the Western Siberian tundra: application of mechanistic modelling approaches using wood-ring data by Martin, AC

“…Multiple strands of evidence demonstrate an important role of recent increases in tundra air temperatures in enhanced growth of deciduous shrubs at the expense of graminoids and mosses, commonly termed ‘shrubification’. However, shrub growth responses are heterogeneous through both space and time, as evidenced by: (a) meta-analyses of the climate-sensitivity of shrub wood production through time; and (b) progressive declines in the strength of the relationship between remotely sensed vegetation productivity and warming air temperatures. …”

Plant ecology of ant-hills in grassland by King, T

“…However, many species, especially rosette or semi-rosette hemicryptophytes, were consistently uncommon on ant-hills, including <em>Luzula campestris</em>, <em>Cirsium acaule</em>, <em>Poterium sanguisorba</em> and <em>Felipendula vulgaris</em>. The pleurocarpous mosses <em>Pleurozium schreberi</em> and <em>Pseudo-scleropodium purum</em> were more abundant on north-facing than south-facing aspects of the mounds.…”
