Abstract: In northern ecosystems, vole and lemming densities vary between years in a regular pattern known as vole and lemming cycles. This study shows that the rodents drive corresponding cycles in vegetation that can be detected from space. The findings should help understand how climate warming will affect tundra ecosystems.
