Climate change is rapidly altering the vegetation of the Arctic tundra<\/strong>, contributing to the spread of species typical of nearby forests. This process is widely visible and largely determined by the growing presence of plants already existing in the transition zone between the two environments. The phenomenon, known as borealisation<\/strong>, is particularly widespread in Eurasia and mountainous regions. This is supported by a new large-scale study<\/a> conducted by researchers at the University of Gothenburg<\/strong>, in Sweden, on over a thousand sampling sites across the Arctic biome.<\/p>\n
