🌱 New ecology paper: A large team led by Mariana García Criado (U Edinburgh) analyzed 1,100+ plots in the Arctic (40 years of data) to look in detail at how boreal plants are increasing on the tundra as the climate warms. Sarah Elmendorf (INSTAAR+EBIO) is a co-author. Read the thread ⬇️

Excited to welcome a passionate group of Arctic scientists to the 22nd International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) meeting at Nordens Ark, on Sweden’s stunning west coast!

I can't help it, I just think they are so cute. Living in Scotland means I'm constantly lagging behind on our walks as I stop to get a closer look. Does everyone react that way when they see a bryophyte? 💚 Nice work here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Bryophyte gene family space

We are calling for abstracts for the @worldbioforum.bsky.social session 'Understanding and caring for Arctic biodiversity together'. This will be an interdisciplinary, free-form session open to all taxa, regions and forms of knowledge. Submission deadline 18 Nov. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Amazing work led by @nanitundra.bsky.social on plant borealization across the Arctic - where, why and by whom using the ITEX+ database 🌱 dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Excellent work by Mariana and team! Wonderful to have such an incredible database that's shared to understand tundra dynamics.

Absolutely thrilled 🎉 to have contributed to this exciting paper, brilliantly led by @nanitundra.bsky.social 🌟 Such a joy to be part of this inspiring team! 🚀🙌

Boreal plants are moving into the #Arctic and reshaping #tundra landscapes 🌱❄️ A 🟢NEW STUDY🟢 led by @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social and @creaf.cat reveals shrubs and grasses from boreal forests are expanding north. So what? 👇

🌲 Boreal-tundra species drive Arctic plant borealization 🌲 Our new study in #EcologyLetters quantifies tundra plant borealization, assesses its main drivers and identifies the species & traits contributing to borealization. doi.org/10.1111/ele.... 🧵 (1/6) 🌐🧪🌱🌍

Can we identify #functional traits that characterize #boreal and #tundra plants? Last week #NordBorN researchers met at @creaf.cat in Barcelona to address this question. Stay tuned for results! nordborn.lbhi.is?p=422 🌱 @nanitundra.bsky.social

Why are some species widespread while others are found only in small, isolated areas? A study in Nature Communications shows that species with narrow ranges, and thus higher extinction risk, are often island-restricted, poor dispersers, and have evolved relatively recently. #evosky 🧪
