Environmental changes in the North Atlantic Region: SCANNET as a collaborative approach for documenting, understanding and predicting changes

Article Abstract:

Investigators summarize the findings of SCANNET to-date and outline its information bases in order to increase awareness of data on environmental change in the North Atlantic Region. Important gaps in the understanding and the role of existing infrastructures and activities represented by SCANNET are identified to facilitate future research, monitoring and ground-truthing activities.

How will European Arctic ecosystems respond to projected global environmental change?

Article Abstract:

Environmental changes brought on by increased levels of carbon dioxide and ultraviolet-B radiation will impact several aspects of Arctic ecosystems. The nutrient level exhibited the greatest response to change, with temperature and water following. Other responses included community level changes in vegetation for both existing and invading species.

Effects on the structure of arctic ecosystems in the short- and long-term perspectives

Article Abstract:

The impact of changes in climate and UV-B radiation on the structure of Arctic ecosystems would have consequences for the functioning of Arctic ecosystems in terms of flows of nutrients and carbon and exchanges between biosphere and atmosphere. It is important to relate the changes in ecosystem to changes in ecosystem function.
