High‐latitude ecosystems store large amounts of carbon (C); however, the C storage of
these ecosystems is under threat from both climate warming and increased levels of …

The influence of goose grazing intensity and open-topped chambers (OTCs) on near-
surface quantities and qualities of soil organic carbon (SOC) was evaluated in wet and …

Questions Terrestrial vegetation is assumed to be highly vulnerable to climate change in the
Arctic, which has experienced the highest rates of temperature increase globally over the …

Food accessibility and availability in the highly seasonal Arctic landscape can be restricted
by snow cover and frozen substrate, particularly in early spring. Therefore, to determine how …

Studies in the Canadian Arctic show dramatic effects of increased goose grazing on
vegetation structure and soil conditions, but little is known of the role of goose grazing in the …

The broad aims of this paper are to define biodiversity and ecosystem services, to set the
biodiversity of the Arctic terrestrial realm into its global context, and, through the use of case …

Migratory geese breed in Svalbard in summer and return to Western Europe for the winter,
feeding on wetlands and agricultural fields. Recent changes in climate, land use and the …

Climate change is occurring across the world, with effects varying by ecosystem and region
