Arctic tundra will see an earlier green-up and longer growing seasons, study says
It's not yet clear what the impacts of the longer growing season will be on Arctic ecosystems.
As the Arctic warms, plants will sprout and flower earlier and hold their leaves longer, expanding the growing season. That is the consistent pattern emerging from experimental sites around the Arctic and at high-altitude sites well south of the Arctic and detailed in a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.
