Shrub Expansion in SW Greenland Under Modest Regional Warming: Disentangling Effects of Human Disturbance and Grazing

2013-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Shrub expansion has been observed widely in tundra areas across the Arctic. This phenomenon has been partially attributed to increasing temperatures over the past century. However, relationships among shrub expansion, grazing, and human disturbance have been studied little. SW Greenland is a subarctic to low-arctic region with a long and complex land-use history and only modest temperature increases over the past...
