Greening of Svalbard in the twentieth century driven by sea ice loss and glaciers retreat by Gianmarco Ingrosso, Chiara Ceccarelli, Federico Giglio, Patrizia Giordano, Jens Hefter, Leonardo Langone, Stefano Miserocchi, Gesine Mollenhauer, Alessio Nogarotto, Mathia Sabino, Tommaso Tesi

“…Abstract The greening of previously barren landscapes in the Arctic is one of the most relevant responses of terrestrial ecosystem to climate change. Analyses of satellite data (available since ~1980) have revealed a widespread tundra advance consistent with recent global warming, but the length is insufficient to resolve the long-term variability and the precise timing of the greening onset. …”
