From hardy flowers to fuzzy stems and berry bushes, these 15 tundra plants grow in the coldest biome on Earth thanks to these unique adaptations.

Rapid climate change is upending plant communities in the Arctic, with species flourishing in some areas and declining in others, according to a new study in Nature. The decades-long investigation, ...

Ecologist Isla Myers-Smith researches how tundra plants respond to climate change and what it means for future ecosystems. While she's mostly worked in the Canadian Arctic, for the last two years ...

With the Arctic warming faster than the global average, researchers at UBC and the University of Edinburgh have made an important discovery about tundra plants and how they are adapting faster ...

The tundra biome is the coldest and one of the largest ecosystems on Earth. It covers about one-fifth of the land on the planet, primarily in the Arctic circle but also in Antarctica as well as a ...

A new study highlights the importance of caribou and muskoxen to the greening Arctic tundra, linking grazing with plant phenology and abundance in the Arctic tundra.

With the Arctic warming faster than the global average, researchers at UBC and the University of Edinburgh have made an important discovery about tundra plants and how they are adapting faster ...

For millennia, the tundra regions of the Arctic drew in carbon from the atmosphere and locked it in permafrost. That is the case no more, according to an annual report issued on Tuesday by the ...

Wildfires and thawing permafrost are causing the region to release more carbon dioxide than its plants remove, probably for the first time in thousands of years.
