Description
Summary:The Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring programme (GEM) is the most comprehensivelong-term ecosystem monitoring programme in the Arctic. Operationalsince 1995, GEM is now every year adding to more than 25 years of observationscovering ecosystems on land, ice, snow and in fresh and marine waters. GEM monitors seasonal fluctuations together with changes through the yearsand these time series are complemented by monitoring across a climate gradientstretching from high Arctic Zackenberg/Daneborg in North East Greenlandto Qeqertarsuaq, Disko Island on the boundary of the high and low Arcticand further south to low Arctic Nuuk.The long-term interdisciplinary data collection carried out by Greenlandic andDanish institutions makes GEM a key provider ofknowledge on status and changes in the arctic natural environments to ArcticCouncil working groups (AMAP andCAFF) and global assessmentorganizations like IPCC and IPBES. This is theAnnual report for the GEM programme in 2021.
