Map of research locations (A), and photographs of Atqasuk dry heath (B) and the Barrow wet meadow (C).
Visible in the photographs are the open-top chambers (OTCs) used to increase air temperature and one of the weather stations.
Table 1.
Description of temperatures response types.
Fig 2.
Percent of temperature response types from Table 1 characterized as responsive, positive, dominant, or inconsistent.
Short-term (solid bars) and long-term (diagonal lines) observations are included.
Fig 3.
Matrix displaying the change in the sum of temperature response types from short-term to long-term.
Calculations include all species, site, and trait combinations in Table 1 for short-term (ST, light blue) and long-term (LT, dark blue). The diagonal (bold box) shows the number of response types that were categorized the same in the short-term and long-term (center) or the sum (bottom right).
Table 2.
Temperature response type characterization of each trait of all monitored species at the four study sites determined from short-term (ST, grey, 1994–2000) and long-term (LT, black, 2007–2012) observations.
