Phenotypic responses of arctic species to changes in climate and ultraviolet-B radiation
“Growth responses of '' Cassiope tetragona '' to warming were greatest at a site in the high Arctic and a high-altitude site in the low Arctic when compared with the warmest low-altitude site in the low Arctic [58].”
Phenotypic responses of arctic species to changes in climate and ultraviolet-B radiation

Recent and projected changes in arctic species distributions and potential ranges
“Fig. 7.15. (a) Number of leaves produced per year in shoots of '' Cassiope tetragona '' as a function of mean July temperature and (b) correlation between a growth parameter in '' Hylocomium splendens '' and mean annual temperature at seven arctic and subarctic sites.”
Recent and projected changes in arctic species distributions and potential ranges
“Strong relationships between growth and temperature in the circumpolar ericaceous dwarf shrub Cassiope tetragona and the feather moss Hylocomium splendens can be used to model range changes.”
Recent and projected changes in arctic species distributions and potential ranges
“Many of these species are common community dominants, including Carex bigelowii/arctisibirica, C. stans, Dryas octopetala/punctata, Cassiope tetragona, and the moss Tomentypnum nitens.”
