Description
Summary:This chapter describes the structure of the book and the diverse significance and importance of sea ice. The first section explains how and why the book is structured following the seasonal events governing the abiotic and biotic parameters in sea ice (1.1). The second section places sea ice into a physical and geopolitical perspective with the new and developing international borders in the Arctic Ocean (1.2). Sea ice ecosystems are then compared to other ecosystems (1.3), followed by a section describing the important and global ecological features of sea ice (1.4).
