“…Satellite observations of vegetation productivity, as measured by the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), have shown a greening of large parts of the tundra biome in the northern hemisphere (Jia et al 2003, Goetz et al 2005, Guay et al 2014. Increases in NDVI over northern (Forbes et al 2010, Macias-Fauria et al 2012, northeastern Siberia (Blok et al 2011), and northwest North America (Tape et al 2012) have been related to increases in growth of deciduous shrubs and summer temperatures. Such links have yet to be explored for evergreen dwarf shrub species.…”

“…Elsewhere, annual growth of several shrub species has been found to co-vary with satellite-derived estimates of growing season NDVI at a number of tundra sites (see e.g. : Blok et al, 2011;Forbes, Macias-Fauria, & Zetterberg, 2010;Macias-Fauria, Forbes, Zetterberg, & Kumpula, 2012;Weijers, Pape, Loeffler, & Myers-Smith, 2018). Substantial fine-scale spatial heterogeneity in arctic plant productivity, even within habitats (Van der Wal & Stien, 2014), has hampered earlier studies of the relationship between plant biomass production and climatic variables.…”

“…, plot-based observations (large and dwarf shrubs: Elmendorf, Henry, Hollister, Björk, Boulanger-Lapointe, et al, 2012) and experiments (dwarf shrubs: Elmendorf, Henry, Hollister, Björk, Bjorkman, et al, 2012;Walker et al, 2006). These changes have been associated with increases in temperature, growing season length and precipitation Elmendorf, Henry, Hollister, Björk, Bjorkman, et al, 2012;Elmendorf, Henry, Hollister, Björk, Boulanger-Lapointe, et al, 2012;Macias-Fauria, Forbes, Zetterberg, & Kumpula, 2012;Myers-Smith et al, 2015), and consequent alterations in snow cover and soil moisture conditions, which can essentially affect high latitude vegetation (Hallinger, Manthey, & Wilmking, 2010;Myers-Smith et al, 2015).…”
