The paper leverages the whole-ecosystem warming experiment at SPRUCE to quantify how snow duration, depth, and fractional cover vary with warming of up to +9\u00b0C. Every snow-related quantity examined was found to decline precipitously as the amount of warming increased. A paired-plot approach was used to estimate the magnitude of the snow-albedo feedback effect. Albedo-driven warming linked to reduced snow cover varies between December (+0.4\u00b0C increase in maximum air temperature) and March (+1.2\u00b0C increase) because of differences in insolation. A key take-home of the paper is that even modest future warming will have profound impacts on northern winters and cold-season ecosystem processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figure below, from the paper&#8217;s supplemental information, shows the clear impact of warming on plot-level snow cover.
