Permafrost and Vegetation Response to Global Warming in North Eurasia
Abstract The largest variations in temperature and precipitation regimes from a global warming are predicted to occur in middle and high latitudes. In this chapter we have used both modeling and paleoclimatic analogues to examine the response of permafrost and vegetation in North Eurasia. The distri...

| Summary: | Abstract The largest variations in temperature and precipitation regimes from a global warming are predicted to occur in middle and high latitudes. In this chapter we have used both modeling and paleoclimatic analogues to examine the response of permafrost and vegetation in North Eurasia. The distribution of vegetation in this regime is dependent on permafrost amd will be affected by the warming. |
