Gradient of Soil Fertilization Helps Tundra Shrubs Expand Across the Arctic
Scientists at the Arctic LTER find that different points along a gradient of soil fertility aid ectomycorrhizal and ericaceous tundra shrubs. Their findings hint at the potential for those two types of shrubs to co-expand over the Arctic—a previously unconsidered scenario that could have vast implications for the future of the northern tundra

Unintentional Oasis – An Accidental Urban Wetland in the Sonoran Desert
The Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP LTER) has monitored nutrient cycles, biodiversity, and human activity in this accidental wetland since 2012, revealing this ecosystem is in some ways a happy accident–a rare occurrence in the age of climate change.
Grassland birds show resilience in the face of drought
Grassland birds, by changing their nest characteristics and breeding patterns, are more resilient to drought than previously thought.
Positive effect of fiddler crabs on saltmarsh grass reverses in expanded range
Atlantic marsh fiddler crabs facilitate the aboveground growth of a foundational saltmarsh grass, but this positive interaction becomes negative as crabs migrate north.
