Responses of low Arctic tundra plant species to experimental manipulations: Differences between abiotic and biotic factors and between short- and long-term effects

Climate change in arctic tundra is projected to affect air temperature, snow depth, soil fertility, and caribou herbivory, which may alter plant community composition by shifting niche space to favor particular species’ life history strategies. We report responses of a Canadian mesic birch hummock t...
