Relationships between aboveground plant traits and carbon cycling in tundra plant communities

K. Happonen, A.-M. Virkkala, J. Kemppinen, P. Niittynen, M. Luoto

This study models how plant traits influence carbon cycling in tundra ecosystems, finding that plant height, SLA, and LDMC strongly affect carbon dynamics, with functional diversity also playing a significant role.

Summer drought decreases the predictability of local extinctions in a butterfly metapopulation

E. van Bergen, T. Dallas, M. F. DiLeo, A. Kahilainen, A. L. K. Mattila, M. Luoto, M. Saastamoinen

The paper examines how summer drought affects the predictability of local extinctions in a butterfly metapopulation, finding that drought reduces the informativeness of traditional covariates.

Woody plants constructing tundra soils

J. Kemppinen, P. Niittynen, A.-M. Virkkala, K. Happonen, H. Riihimaki, J. Aalto, M. Luoto

This study examines how woody plant coverage and height affect tundra soil moisture, temperature, and organic carbon stocks, finding coverage has a significant inverse correlation while height does not.

Snow is an important control of plant community functional composition

K. Happonen, J. Aalto, J. Kemppinen, P. Niittynen, A.-M. Virkkala, M. Luoto

The paper investigates factors influencing plant community functional composition in Arctic tundra, finding that snow is the most influential abiotic variable.
