Recent climate-driven increases in vegetation productivity for the western Arctic: evidence of an acceleration of the northern terrestrial carbon cycle

ABSTRACT: Northern ecosystems contain much of the global reservoir of terrestrial carbon that is potentially reactive in the context of near-term climate change. Annual variability and recent trends in vegetation productivity across Alaska and northwest Canada were assessed using a satellite remote...
