Summer Differences among Arctic Ecosystems in Regional Climate Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Biome differences in surface energy balance strongly affect climate. However, arctic vegetation is considered sufficiently uniform that only a single arctic land surface type is generally used in climate models. Field ...
Snow–Shrub Interactions in Arctic Tundra: A Hypothesis with Climatic Implications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Arctic, where wind transport of snow is common, the depth and insulative properties of the snow cover can be determined as much by the wind as by spatial variations in precipitation. Where shrubs are more abundant ...
