Effects on the structure of Arctic ecosystems in the short- and long-term perspectivesTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 33:436-47. 2004..Insects that harass reindeer in the summer are also likely to become more widespread, abundant and active during warmer summers while refuges for reindeer/caribou on glaciers and late snow patches will probably disappear...
Biodiversity, distributions and adaptations of Arctic species in the context of environmental changeTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 33:404-17. 2004..In contrast, Arctic plant and animal species are very likely to change their distributions rather than evolve significantly in response to warming...
Past changes in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems, climate and UV radiationTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 33:398-403. 2004....
Rationale, concepts and approach to the assessmentTerry V Callaghan

Ambio 33:393-7. 2004
Key findings and extended summariesTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 33:386-92. 2004
Effects on the function of Arctic ecosystems in the short- and long-term perspectivesTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 33:448-58. 2004..Shrubs and trees increase snow depth which in turn increases winter soil temperatures. Future changes in vegetation driven by climate change are therefore, very likely to profoundly alter regional climate...
Effects of changes in climate on landscape and regional processes, and feedbacks to the climate systemTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 33:459-68. 2004..This uncertainty applies to magnitude, and even direction of some of the feedbacks...

Environmental changes in the North Atlantic Region: SCANNET as a collaborative approach for documenting, understanding and predicting changesTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio . 2004..We also identify important gaps in our understanding and identify where the roles of existing infrastructures and activities represented by SCANNET can facilitate future research, monitoring and ground-truthing activities...
Responses to projected changes in climate and UV-B at the species levelTerry V Callaghan
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 33:418-35. 2004..In contrast, invertebrates and microorganisms are very likely to quickly expand their ranges northwards into the Arctic...
Changes in tree growth, biomass and vegetation over a 13-year period in the Swedish sub-ArcticHenrik Hedenås
Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden
Ambio 40:672-82. 2011..The vegetation changes might be caused by climate, herbivory and past human impact but irrespective of the causes, the observed transition of the vegetation will have substantial effects on the mountain ecosystems...
Global change and the boreal forest: thresholds, shifting states or gradual change?F Stuart Chapin
Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska, Fairbanks 99775, USA
Ambio 33:361-5. 2004..Many of these triggers for change are amenable to management, suggesting that our choice of policies in the coming decades will substantially influence the ecological and societal consequences of current climatic change...
Plant species traits are the predominant control on litter decomposition rates within biomes worldwideWilliam K Cornwell
Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences, Department of Systems Ecology, Institute of Ecological Science, Vrije Universiteit, De Boelelaan 1085, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Ecol Lett 11:1065-71. 2008..This connection between plant strategies and decomposability is crucial for both understanding vegetation-soil feedbacks, and for improving forecasts of the global carbon cycle...
Global negative vegetation feedback to climate warming responses of leaf litter decomposition rates in cold biomesJohannes H C Cornelissen
Department of Systems Ecology, Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences, Institute of Ecological Science, Vrije Universiteit, De Boelelaan 1085, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Ecol Lett 10:619-27. 2007..Depending on the strength of other (previously reported) positive feedbacks of shrub expansion on soil carbon turnover, this may partly counteract direct warming enhancement of litter decomposition...

Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska, Fairbanks 99775, USA
Ambio 35:198-202. 2006....
What determines the current presence or absence of permafrost in the Torneträsk region, a sub-arctic landscape in northern Sweden?Margareta Johansson
GeoBiosphere Science Centre, Lund University, Sweden
Ambio 35:190-7. 2006..Because ongoing climate warming is projected to continue and lead to an increased snow cover, the permafrost in the region will most likely disappear within decades, at least at lower elevations...
Plant community responses to experimental warming across the tundra biomeMarilyn D Walker
Boreal Ecology Cooperative Research Unit, U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, University of Alaska, P.O. Box 756780, Fairbanks, AK 99775-6780, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:1342-6. 2006..These changes have important implications for processes and interactions within tundra ecosystems and between tundra and the atmosphere...
The dynamics of the tundra-taiga boundary: an overview and suggested coordinated and integrated approach to researchTerry V Callaghan
Ambio . 2002..Finally, we present recommendations for a coordinated international approach to the problem and invite the international community to join us in reducing the uncertainties about the dynamics of the ecotone and their consequences...
