Plot-scale evidence of tundra vegetation change and links to recent summer warming.
Temperature is increasing at unprecedented rates across most of the tundra biome(1). Remote-sensing data indicate that contemporary climate warming has already resulted in increased productivity ov…

The importance of colony structure versus shoot morphology for the water balance of 22 subarctic bryophyte species
TLDR
General relationships between shoot and colony traits as deter-minants of water economy will help to predict and upscale changes inhydrological function of bryophyte-dominated peatlands undergoing climate-induced shifts in species abundance, and feedbacks of such species shifts onpermafrost insulation and carbon sequestration functions.

Functional traits predict relationship between plant abundance dynamic and long-term climate warming
TLDR
It is shown that plant functional traits can be used as predictors of vegetation response to climate warming, accounting in the test ecosystem for 59% of variability in the per-species abundance relation to temperature.

Long-term vegetation dynamic in the Northwestern Caucasus: which communities are more affected by upward shifts of plant species?
Abstract We studied long-term (25–31 years) dynamics of alpine communities at the Teberda Reserve, NW Caucasus, Russia, to test the following hypotheses: (1) lower altitude species increase and high…

Life-form composition of alpine plant communities at the Eastern Qinghai-Tibetan plateau
TLDR
Alpine plants of the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan plateau (Sichuan, China) are developed under long-lasting grazing by wild and domestic yaks, and life forms may reflect their adaptation to grazing.

Stabilization versus decomposition in alpine ecosystems of the Northwestern Caucasus: The results of a tea bag burial experiment
Mountainous areas exhibit highly variable decomposition rates as a result of strong local differences in climate and vegetation type. This paper describes the effect of these factors on two major…

No other species can replace them: evidence for the key role of dominants in an alpine Festuca varia grassland
TLDR
Dominants play a key role in alpine F. varia grasslands and determine the functional structure and composition of the community, and species from other functional groups and, remarkably, species from the same group, are not able to completely replace them.

Is intensity of plant root mycorrhizal colonization a good proxy for plant growth rate, dominance and decomposition in nutrient poor conditions?
TLDR
The importance of mycorrhizal colonization as a key trait underpinning the role of plant species in carbon and nutrient dynamics in nutrient-limited herbaceous plant communities is highlighted.

Which Plant Strategies Are Related to Dominanсе in Alpine Communities?
Abstract The numerical estimation of ecological strategies (according to the classification of J. Grime) can contribute to plant dominance iunder certain environmental conditions. Alpine plants are…

Effects of herbaceous plant functional groups on the dynamics and structure of an alpine lichen heath: the results of a removal experiment
TLDR
In alpine heath, graminoid dominants contribute more to community structure than forb dominants and none of the subordinate species became a new dominant.
