Alpine ecosystems, such as the Arctic tundra, are experiencing a pronounced warming compared to the rest of the world. In the Arctic, dendroecological studies have documented the climatic drivers of the expansion of dwarf shrubs. These changes in the Arctic tundra have far-reaching implications for...
