The increase of an allelopathic and unpalatable plant undermines reindeer pasture quality and current management in the Norwegian tundra
Abstract Ongoing Arctic greening can increase productivity and reindeer pasture quality in the tundra.However, greening may also entail proliferation of unpalatable species, with consequences for pastoral social-ecological systems.Here we show extensive greening across 20 reindeer districts in Norway between 2003 and 2020, which has reduced pasture
