An ecological assessment of southern Alaska through observations of floristic change, fire regime and volcanism. ...
Defining patterns of environmental or ecological change on different spatio-temporal scales is key to tracking and addressing present and future biodiversity changes, which is particularly important considering the rapidly changing climate scenarios. Climate change in the arctic means shrinking glac...
