Anthropogenic disturbance and patch dynamics in circumpolar arctic ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the results of recent studies of patchy anthro- pogenic disturbance and show that even relatively low-intensity, small-scale disturbances have immediate and persistent effects on arc- tic vegetation and soils.

TL;DR: Results indicate that wide-ranging species are indeed characterized by greater intraspecific variation and that species' phenotypes shift along environmental gradients in the same direction as the community phenotypes, however, across species, the rate of intrapecific trait change is limited and prevents species from adjusting to environmentalGradients as quickly as interspecific changes resulting from community assembly.

Comparing response of Pinus edulis tree-ring growth to five alternate moisture indices using historic meteorological data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of several indices that relate historical climate data to tree-ring variation in Pinus edulis and concluded that the Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) was the best predictor of Pinus Edulis ring width.

Restoration of an Alpine Disturbance: Differential Success of Species in Turf Transplants, Colorado, U.S.A.
TL;DR: Success in total cover and of almost all species after 1 yr indicates turf-transplants work well in this community and should be employed to restore other damaged alpine areas when feasible.

Controls on Radial Growth of Mountain Big Sagebrush and Implications for Climate Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature, precipitation, and snow depth on sagebrush annual ring width for 1969 to 2007 in the Gunnison Basin of Colorado were analyzed. And the results showed that water stress and perhaps especially maximum snow depth appear to limit growth of this species.
