Shrub expansion in tundra ecosystems: dynamics, impacts and research priorities (2011, background): “) near their range limits suggest that temperature limitation of reproduction may determine the northern extent of many shrubs in the low Arctic [16, 50, 63].”
State of the climate in 2010 (2011, background): “Increasing air and ground temperatures are predicted to increase shrub growth in much of the Arctic, with major consequences for ecosystems (Lantz et al. 2010b).”
Temperature dependence of the reproduction niche and its relevance for plant species distributions (2012, background): “Detrimental temperatures during fertilization and seed maturation result in low seed viability, and the formation of non-viable seeds (Nayyar et al., 2005; Lantz et al., 2010).”
