Less is More? – Snow Cover Loss as a Driving Force of Increased Vegetation Damage in the Arctic-Boreal Region

Det nordlige klimaet har endret seg over de siste tiårene. Ikke bare har somrene blitt lengre, men vinterværet har også blitt stadig mer omskiftelig. Dette har ført til en økning i varme perioder midt på vinteren, regn som faller på snø og snødekke som forsvinner. Alle disse ekstreme vinterhendel...

Integrating wildlife and snow-ice expertise across the high Arctic

På den arktiske tundraen spiller snø- og isforhold en avgjørende rolle for om dyrebestandene trives eller går tilbake. Ettersom klimaendringene skjer raskest i Arktis, er det viktig å forstå sammenhengen mellom snøforhold og dyrebestander. Faktorer som snødybde, hardhet, tidspunktet for første sn...

Merging ecological and evolutionary methods to understand adaptation to climate change in Svalbard’s tundra ecosystem

Klimaendringene medfører endringer i det miljøet som planter og dyr har tilpasset seg. Dette skjer særlig raskt i Arktis, og derfor er det viktig å studere og forstå hvordan arter påvirkes, både umiddelbart (for eksempel gjennom endringer i adferd, overlevelse og reproduksjon) og i det lange løp ...

From winter time to summer time – what ends the "hunger gap" for Svalbard reindeer?

The term "hunger gap" (no: “vårknipa”) traditionally used in agricultural communities, refers to the period at the end of winter when winter provisions are depleting, yet the growing season has not yet started. In contemporary usage, the term also describes the food situation for wild animals, wh...
