About Esther Lévesque

Esther Lévesque, With an exceptional h-index of 41 and a recent h-index of 33 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, specializes in the field of plant ecology, arctic ecology, vegetation, shrub, permafrost.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Scale‐dependent effects of herbivory on moss communities in Arctic wetlands: A 25‐year experiment

Chapitre I A distinct N acquisition strategical axis is needed to under-stand vascular plant community variation along a soil mois-ture gradient in a Canadian High-Arctic tundra

Plant traits poorly predict winner and loser shrub species in a warming tundra biome

Fine‐scale environment control on ground surface temperature and thaw depth in a High Arctic tundra landscape

Increased nutrient availability speeds up permafrost development, while goose grazing slows it down in a Canadian High Arctic wetland

Long-term study of the tundra food web at a hotspot of Arctic biodiversity, the Bylot Island Field Station

Multiple Pleistocene refugia for Arctic White Heather (Cassiope tetragona) supported by population genomics analyses of contemporary and Little-Ice-Age samples

Hydrological Regime and Plant Functional Traits Jointly Mediate the Influence of Salix spp. on Soil Organic Carbon Stocks in a High Arctic Tundra
