“…A number of significant consequences of these changes have already been reported or predicted. They include (a) retreat of glaciers and loss of floating ice shelves (Cook et al, 2005; Turner & Overland, 2009), (b) reduction in the number of freezing days during winter periods (Lebouvier et al, 2011), winter thaw events and changes in timing of spring thaw and winter freeze (Pedersen et al, 2022; Rixen et al, 2022), (c) reduced precipitation and more frequent summer drought events (McClelland et al, 2018), (d) altered plant communities (Chapuis et al, 2004; Collins et al, 2022; Myers‐Smith, Grabowski, et al, 2019; Myers‐Smith, Thomas, et al, 2019; Prevéy et al, 2019), (e) increased probabilities of establishment and potential distributions of non‐native plants and arthropods (Chown et al, 2012; Convey & Peck, 2019; Pertierra et al, 2017, 2020), and (f) distribution expansion in non‐native species already established (Bartlett et al, 2020; Le Roux et al, 2013; Lebouvier et al, 2020) and of native species (Contador et al, 2020; Duffy et al, 2017).…”
