One does not simply grow well: Performance of grassland plants in home and foreign soil and climate

K. H. Aares, T. Bockelie-Rosendahl, R. Priyadarshi, F. I. Pugnaire, C. Schob, M. Alifriqui, E. Manrique, L. H. Jaakola, K. A. Brathen

This study evaluates how alpine grassland plants perform in their native vs. foreign soils and climates, finding that performance is better in home soil and climate, but interactions between soil and climate affect outcomes.

Long-term herbivore removal experiments reveal different impacts of geese and reindeer on vegetation and ecosystem CO2-fluxes in high-Arctic tundra

M. Petit Bon, B. B. Hansen, M. J. J. E. Loonen, A. Petraglia, K. A. Brathen, H. Bohner, K. Layton-Matthews, K. H. Beard, M. Le Moullec, I. S. Jonsdottir, R. Van der Wal

This study compares the impacts of geese and reindeer removal on vegetation and CO2-fluxes in high-Arctic tundra, finding that geese have stronger localized effects than reindeer.

Greening conceals evergreening: contrasting trends for a socio-ecological system in Arctic Europe

M. W. Tuomi, T. A. Utsi, N. Yoccoz, C. W. Armstrong, V. Gonzalez, S. B. Hagen, I. S. Jonsdottir, F. I. Pugnaire, K. Shea, D. A. Wardle, S. Zielosko, K. A. Brathen

The paper shows increased biomass of allelopathic crowberry in Arctic Norway, contrasting with smaller increases in other plant types, and suggests potential negative impacts on reindeer and pastoral systems.

Sedimentary ancient DNA shows terrestrial plant richness continuously increased over the Holocene in northern Fennoscandia

D. P. Rijal, P. D. Heintzman, Y. Lammers, N. G. Yoccoz, K. E. Lorberau, I. Pitelkova, T. Goslar, F. J. A. Murguzur, J. S. Salonen, K. F. Helmens, J. Bakke, M. E. Edwards, T. Alm, K. A. Brathen, A. G. Brown, I. G. Alsos

This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA to show that terrestrial plant richness increased continuously in northern Fennoscandia during the Holocene, even as temperatures declined after the Early Holocene.

One leaf for all: Chemical traits of single leaves measured at the leaf surface using Near infrared-reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS)

M. P. Bon, H. Bohner, S. Kaino, T. Moe, K. A. Brathen

This paper applies NIRS to measure chemical traits of single whole leaves, finding successful predictions for Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Carbon, with some success for Silicon.
