Mass loss, together with nitrogen and carbon loss, from above‐ground material and roots of Festuca vivipara were followed for 13 months in a high Arctic polar semi‐desert and a low Arctic tree‐line dwarf shrub heath. Festuca vivipara for the study was obtained from plants cultivated at two different CO2 concentrations (350 and 500 μL L–1) in controlled environment chambers in the UK. Each of the four resource types (shoots or roots from plants grown in elevated or ambient CO2 concentrations) was subsequently placed in an experiment simulating aspects of environmental change in each Arctic ecosystem. Air, litter and soil temperatures were increased using open‐topped polythene tents at both sites, and a 58% increase in summer precipitation was simulated at the high Arctic site.
