Kathrin Rousk concludes, «
Warming will lead to increased N2 fixation rates in mosses, while the consequences of further shrub expansion will depend on the dominant shrub invading: the expansion of willow will likely
limit the N input via N2 fixation,
whereas a predominance of birch shrubs will increase N2 fixation and with that, N supply to the ecosystem.»
The findings, which were published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, show that
limiting warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) would reduce the likelihood of an ice - free Arctic summer to 30 percent by the year 2100,

warmer, drier parts, where
warming may have pushed temperature past critical thresholds to the point where
warm temps become a
limiting factor.
One of the key comments for me in M&W is — «On the other hand,
limiting the validation exercise to these two blocks is problematic because both blocks have very dramatic and obvious features: the temperatures in the initial block are fairly constant and are the coldest in the instrumental record
whereas the temperatures in the final block are rapidly increasing and are the
warmest in the instrumental record.
