Building resilience and adaptation to manage Arctic change

Article Abstract:

The Arctic is biologically connected to the rest of the world through its natural resources, flora and fauna, and it is the cooling system for planet Earth and a major store of nonmarine water. It is very necessary to foster Arctic resilience and adaptation through sound developmental policies to manage Arctic change because enhancement of Arctic resilience would also address the resilience of other regions that are more directly impacted by human actions.

Biodiversity, distributions and adaptations of Arctic species in the context of environmental change

Article Abstract:

The attributes of the existing Arctic species that are likely to constrain or facilitate the responses to a changing climate and UV-B regime are highlighted. Changes in the Arctic landscape processes and ecosystems in a future climatic and UV-B regime depends on the ability of the Arctic species to withstand or adapt to the new environment and their interaction with the immigrant species.

Past changes in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems, climate and UV radiation

Article Abstract:

A holistic approach is made to assess impact of climate change on Arctic terrestrial ecosystem. The last glacial maximum of these regions were submerged beneath vast ice sheets wherein many of the biota comprising present Arctic ecosystems were found at lower latitudes.
