I am interested in how tundra plants are dealing with climate change, and I work both with vascular and non-vascular plants (lichens and bryophytes). Broadly, I research species diversity and distributions, plant traits, large-scale processes of change (e.g., borealization, shrubification), and species\u2019 potential for adaptation under increasingly warmer conditions. I have carried out Arctic fieldwork across sites in the Canadian Yukon, Svalbard and Greenland. Additionally, I have worked extensively in biodiversity conservation (e.g., at IUCN) and the science\/policy interface, to which I have contributed at the Scottish and European levels (e.g., through the IPBES European regional assessment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EU Horizon 2020 <strong>CHARTER<\/strong>: Drivers and Feedbacks of&nbsp;Changes in&nbsp;Arctic&nbsp;Terrestrial Biodiversity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NERC <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/teamshrub.com\/tundratime-project\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/teamshrub.com\/tundratime-project\/\">TundraTime<\/a><\/strong> project<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NordBorN<\/strong>: The Nordic Borealization Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ITEX<\/strong>: International Tundra Experiment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Publications (selected)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Garc\u00eda Criado, M., <\/strong>et al. 2023.
