• Arctic climate shifts drive rapid ecosystem responses across the West Greenland landscape 

      Saros, Jasmine E.; Anderson, Nicholas John; Juggins, Stephen; McGowan, Suzanne; Yde, Jacob C.; Bullard, Joanna E.; Yallop, Marian L.; Heathcote, Adam J.; Burpee, Benjamin T.; Fowler, Rachel A.; Barry, Christopher D.; Northington, Robert M.; Osburn, Christopher L.; Pla-Rabes, Sergi; Mernild, Jacob Sebastian Haugaard; Whiteford, Erika J.; Andrews, Grace; Kerby, Jeffrey T.; Post, Eric (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Prediction of high latitude response to climate change is hampered by poor understanding of the role of nonlinear changes in ecosystem forcing and response. While the effects of nonlinear climate change are often delayed ...
    • Assessing recovery of alpine spoil heaps by vascular plant, bryophyte, and lichen functional traits 

      Sulavik, Jan; Auestad, Inger; Halvorsen, Rune; Rydgren, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Functional traits are linked to ecosystem processes and services and therefore relevant in recovery assessment. However, traits of bryophytes and lichens, important components of many ecosystems, have received less attention ...
    • Molecular and ecological plant defense responses along an elevational gradient in a boreal ecosystem 

      Benevenuto, Rafael Fonseca; Seldal, Tarald; Polashock, James; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Rodriguez-Saona, Cesar; Gillespie, Mark Andrew Kusk; Hegland, Stein Joar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Plants have the capacity to alter their phenotype in response to environmental factors, such as herbivory, a phenomenon called phenotypic plasticity. However, little is known on how plant responses to herbivory are modulated ...
    • Multiannual effects of induced plant defenses: Are defended plants good or bad neighbors? 

      Benevenuto, Rafael Fonseca; Hegland, Stein Joar; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Rydgren, Knut; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Rodriguez-Saona, Cesar; Seldal, Tarald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Defenses induced by herbivore feeding or phytohormones such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can affect growth, reproduction, and herbivory, not only on the affected individual but also in its neighboring plants. Here, we report ...
