🌲 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) 🌐🧪🌱🌍
Herbarium specimens reveal drivers of Arctic shrub growth @newphyt.bsky.social Shrub specimens can be used to recreate annual growth chronologies and help understand plant responses to global change. With @annebeejay.bsky.social, ZA Panchen, JDM Speed nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸 Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵 (1/7) 🌐🧪🌱🌍
For the polyploid fans AND the pollinator fans out there, some thoughts on polyploid establishment 🐝🪰🌿🌱
Wilhelm Osterman@wilosterman.bsky.social · last yr.📢 Viewpoint in New Phyt. on polyploid establishment! Key take-homes🧵 1. In contrast to earlier hypotheses that pollinators can help new polyploids establish, we suggest that pollinators mainly prevent polyploid establishment because outcrossing increases the strength of minority cytotype exclusion.
I've put together this Starter Pack because I still miss connecting with many Arctic colleagues on this platform. Apologies if I missed adding some of you, but you're all welcome to join! go.bsky.app/KRYFusr
Just for fun 😊 We compiled some of our favorite #fieldwork “life hacks”. What are we missing? edge-ecology.com/blog/

🎄 Advent calendar for plant enthusiasts! With @vercakalnikova.bsky.social, we have gone through our photo archives and, quite unsurprisingly, found many alpine plants there. From now on, at least until Christmas, we will introduce one alpine plant species a day in this 🧵 ⏬⏬
65 years ago, on 1/12/59, 12 countries (now 67) signed the Antarctic Treaty, declaring that "Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only". Despite being a sanctuary devoted to science, global change is threatening Antarctic ecosystems, and the situation is even worst at the Arctic. (1/2)
