Definitions and taxonomyThe tundra is defined as the region beyond the elevational and latitudinal treeline116. We consider shrubs as multi-stemmed woody plants under 5–6 m in height117. We followed the taxonomy outlined in The Plant List (http://www.theplantlist.org/) at the species level and standardised synonyms according to this reference. Definitions of the three traits follow Kattge et al.118 which in turn follow Garnier et al.119.
