On the sensitivity of root and leaf phenology to warming in the Arctic
Temperature is commonly assumed to act as the primary constraint on the timing of plant growth, and strong advances in plant phenology have been seen with recent atmospheric warming. The influence of temperature on the timing of root growth, however, is less clear, and controls on root phenology are...
