2002 JOURNAL OF CLIMATE VOLUME 13 Summer Differences among Arctic Ecosystems in Regional Climate Forcing
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 measurements in northern Alaska show large differences among arctic ecosystem type...

Biome differences in surface energy balance strongly affect climate.
