Long-term interactions between shrub growth and soil nitrogen availability in the Western Siberian tundra: application of mechanistic modelling approaches using wood-ring data
- Abstract:
-
Rationale. Shrub growth and expansion is occurring in the Arctic, with implications for global climate. 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 producti...
