Arctic tundra ecosystems under fire—Alternative ecosystem states in a changing climate?
Climate change is altering the Arctic tundra, with fires driving vegetation shifts. We hypothesise that post-fire recovery, shaped by climate change, may not return to pre-fire conditions, leading to...

With more and more Arctic plant folks joining 🌱❄️, what better excuse to drop this starter pack again? 🔁💎 If you want to join in, just give me a shout!
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!

Great fun indeed to win our institute´s volleyball tournament with the migration ecology team including @ramonaheim.bsky.social 🤩
We are happy to announce to have won this year´s volleyball tournament of the institute of biology and environmental sciences. Great team, great fun. And the trophy is a bird (Avocet) - fitting very well to our group 😊

#Fieldwork update from our PyroDiv project (uni-goettingen.de/en/690609.html): A Kazakh-German field team is now collecting data on the Great Steppe to reveal the impact of fire legacies and grazing on biodiversity. Great collab between @acbk.bsky.social @consbiogoe.bsky.social and @uni-muenster.de.

🌸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.

These new estimates show that in total tundra plants (above-and belowground) store around 8 Pg C while the upper 30 cm soils store ca 53 Pg C.
