Abstract
Deeper winter snow is hypothesized to favor shrub growth and may partly explain the shrub expansion
observed in many parts of the arctic during the last decades, potentially triggering biophysical

of winter snow depth on shrub growth and ecophysiology by measuring stem length and stem
hydrogen ...
