TL;DR: In this article, a synthesis of 61 experimental warming studies, of up to 20 years duration, in tundra sites worldwide, was used to understand the sensitivity of tundras vegetation to climate warming and to forecast future biodiversity and vegetation feedbacks to climate.
Plot-scale evidence of tundra vegetation change and links to recent summer warming.

TL;DR: In this paper, remote sensing data indicate that contemporary climate warming has already resulted in increased productivity and increased productivity in the tundra biome (Tundra Tundra Bi biome).

Grassland patch dynamics and herbivore grazing preference following urine deposition
TL;DR: Investigation of the response of Schizachyrium scoparium and Poa pratensis to natural and simulated bison urine deposition in a northern, mixed prairie in South Dakota found urine patches provided an even greater source of forage and N for herbivores earlier and later in the growing season when surrounding vegetation was mostly quiescent.

Are some plant life forms more effective than others in screening out ultraviolet-B radiation?
TL;DR: Comparisons of foliage from a diverse group of Rocky Mountain plants enabled us to assess whether the foliage of some plant life forms appeared more effective at screening UV-B radiation, and suggest certain plant lifeforms may be more predisposed than others to meet the challenge of higherUV-B levels resulting from stratospheric ozone depletion.

Growth and reproduction of Antarctic vascular plants in response to warming and UV radiation reductions in the field
TL;DR: The effects of warming and UV reduction were species specific and were often cumulative over the two field seasons, emphasizing the importance of long-term field manipulations in predicting the impacts of climate change.
