Climate change and cyclic predator–prey population dynamics in the high Arctic (2009, background): “Zackenberg was established as an ecological research and monitoring site in 1995 (Klitgaard et al., 2007; Meltofte et al., 2008).”
Rapid responses of permafrost and vegetation to experimentally increased snow cover in sub-arctic Sweden (2013, background): “…exert a significant direct control on fluxes of CO2 in natural communities (Fahnestock et al 1998, Larsen et al 2007, Nobrega and Grogan 2007, Groendahl et al 2008) and also an indirect control through thawing of permafrost that exposes old organic material to enhanced decomposition and…”
Presence of Eriophorum scheuchzeri enhances substrate availability and methane emission in an Arctic wetland (2012, background): “The peat layer in the fen is 20e30 cm thick, typical of high Arctic fen ecosystems (Meltofte et al., 2008) and in a neighbouring fen area the onset of peat accumulation has been 14C-dated to AD 1290e1390 (Christiansen et al., 2002).”
