Biological implications of arctic change

The detection of biological change in the Arctic marine environment can be expected to coincide with recent patterns of high-latitude environmental change, including a seasonal reduction in the extent and duration of sea ice, increased seawater temperature, and changing hydrographic conditions (e.g....

Description
Summary:The detection of biological change in the Arctic marine environment can be expected to coincide with recent patterns of high-latitude environmental change, including a seasonal reduction in the extent and duration of sea ice, increased seawater temperature, and changing hydrographic conditions (e.g. Serreze et al., 2003; Overland and Stabeno, 2004).
