Cold adapted plant species often dependent on seed dormancy breakage for successful germination, yet the effects of climate-driven changes in soil temperature on this process remain unclear. To improve our understanding of temperature impacts on seed dormancy breakage of Arctic plant species and populations, we investigated how different durations of cold-moist stratification at 0 °C or -5 °C affected seed germination of three...

Coastal marshes, recognized as effective organic carbon (OC) sinks, have gained attention for their potential contribution to climate mitigation through protection and restoration. However, the climate mitigation potential of Nordic coastal marshes remains understudied, likely due to their heterogeneous and often non‐tidal nature. To fill this gap, we examined soil OC storage and accumulation rates, and the effects of grazing,...

Reed beds can be managed for commercial or conservation purposes, with effects on its inhabitants. In this paper, we assess the effect of management on the reed bed Coleoptera community by investigating reed beds subject to winter cutting, winter harvest, short-term unmanaged (3 years), and long-term unmanaged (25 years). Using pit fall traps, we collected Coleoptera across a summer season to estimate Coleoptera biomass, abund...
