Arctic wetland system dynamics under climate warming
Warming and hydrological changes have already affected and shifted environments in the Arctic. Arctic wetlands are complex systems of coupled hydrological, ecological, and permafrost-related processes, vulnerable to such environmental changes. This review uses a systems perspective approach to synth...

Warming and hydrological changes have already affected and shifted environments in the Arctic.
