Trade-offs Between Wood and Leaf Production in Arctic Shrubs Along a Temperature and Moisture Gradient in West Greenland

Rebecca Finger Higgens et al.

Summary: Research shows that two dominant circumpolar deciduous shrubs, grey willow and dwarf birch, are sensitive to warmer and drier conditions, with increased air temperature positively correlating with greater shrub volume and leaf biomass being influenced by edaphic features like soil moisture. Warmer soils tend to be drier, potentially leading to significant water limitation and limiting foliar production for these shrubs despite warming temperatures.

Phenological stage of tundra vegetation controls bidirectional exchange of BVOCs in a climate change experiment on a subarctic heath

Nanna Baggesen et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that climate change and vegetation have significant impacts on the bidirectional exchange of biogenic volatile organic compounds within ecosystems. Increasing temperature and leaf litter addition result in higher BVOC emissions, while different plant growth stages also affect BVOC fluxes.

Contrasting responses of major and minor volatile compounds to warming and gall-infestation in the Arctic willow Salix myrsinites

Laura Swanson et al.

Summary: The study found that in the Arctic region, climate change and insect herbivory have a significant impact on the emissions of volatile organic compounds from vegetation, especially in high-latitude ecosystems. Experimental warming can significantly increase the emission of isoprene, while herbivory stimulates the emission of other volatile organic compounds.

Volatile organic compound emission in tundra shrubs - Dependence on species characteristics and the near-surface environment

Tihomir Simin et al.

Summary: The study found that evergreen shrubs have a greater temperature difference between leaves and air, showing higher thermal tolerance, while deciduous shrubs have a higher optimal temperature for photosynthesis in a lower temperature range. Air temperature and vapor pressure deficit were identified as the most important variables influencing leaf temperature and VOC emissions in all studied plants.

Arctic tundra shrubification: a review of mechanisms and impacts on ecosystem carbon balance

Zelalem A. Mekonnen et al.

Summary: Shrub expansion in the Arctic tundra is a significant response to rapid climate warming, impacting ecosystem carbon balances through various factors such as climate change, accelerated nutrient cycling, and changing disturbance regimes. The increase in tall deciduous shrubs can alter carbon dynamics by enhancing carbon uptake, affecting ecosystem respiration, and influencing feedback mechanisms that impact snowpack, permafrost, energy balance, and litter inputs. Land models need to incorporate plant traits to accurately predict tundra vegetation dynamics and carbon balances over decadal to centennial scales.

Characterization of Salix nigra floral insect community and activity of three native Andrena bees

Sandra J. Simon et al.

Summary: Black willow is an important nutrient resource that attracts many insects for visitation. Male trees typically support higher insect diversity, with only three insect species consistently visiting both male and female trees. And the mating bees are more inclined to visit female trees.

Synergistic effects of insect herbivory and changing climate on plant volatile emissions in the subarctic tundra

Jolanta Rieksta et al.

Summary: The study found that climate change increases insect abundance in Arctic ecosystems, leading to increased emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from plants, which play a crucial role in atmospheric chemistry and physics. Experimental manipulations of temperature and light availability in a subarctic tundra revealed that insect herbivory and climate change interact to stimulate VOC emissions from dwarf birch, with potential positive feedbacks on cloud formation. Acclimation of plants to long-term climate treatments complicates predictions on how climate change and interacting biotic stresses affect VOC emissions in high latitudes.

Sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes dominate the VOC (C5-C20) emissions of downy birches

Heidi Hellen et al.

Summary: The emissions of terpenes, oxygenated terpenes, and green leaf volatiles from downy birch leaves were quantified, with sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes identified as the main emitted compounds. These emissions were significantly higher in the early growing season compared to the main and late periods. Over the whole growing season, the total monoterpene emissions were only a fraction of the total sesquiterpene and oxygenated sesquiterpene emissions. It was also found that the emissions from stressed trees could have a strong impact on atmospheric chemistry, especially on secondary organic aerosol production.

Seasonal and elevational variability in the induction of specialized compounds from mountain birch (Betula pubescens var. pumila) by winter moth larvae (Operophtera brumata)

Ingvild Ryde et al.

Summary: The study found that in the Subarctic region, insect herbivory, elevation, and season have significant effects on foliar VOC emissions and specialized compound contents of mountain birch. Herbivory increases emissions of certain compounds, with specific compounds being the most responsive in herbivory treatments. At high elevation, herbivory only increased emissions of homoterpenes.
