We analysed 12 years of species-specific emergence dates of plants at a LowArctic site near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to investigate associations with sea ice dynamics, a potential contributor to local temperature variation in near-coastal tundra. Species displayed highly variable rates of phenologic...
