How will the tundra-taiga interface respond to climate change?
Therefore, freeze-thaw of both pristine permafrost and tundra soil samples in complete darkness with only temperature fluctuations were run.
Factors affecting nest site selection and reproductive success of tundra nesting shorebirds.
From tropics to tundra: global convergence in plant functioning.
How can the dynamics of the tundra-taiga boundary be remotely monitored?
The ruddy turnstone exhibits a holarctic breeding distribution that includes rocky coasts and tundra habitats.
The results with modern tundra soils and permafrost sediments demonstrate the resistance of their microbial communities to prolonged freezing and freeze-thaw stresses.
However, response and recovery methods must consider lateral containment, and must be weighed against their potential to damage tundra.
