About this book

The Arctic region is predicted to experience the earliest and most pronounced global warming response to human-induced climate change. This book examines how this warming will affect the Arctic plants, plant communities and ecosystem processes, and contains contributions from researchers across the world.

Media reviews
This book will serve as an excellent introduction to and synthesis of the current status of knowledge, and it is timely in anticipation of new Arctic ecological research efforts proposed by a number of agencies... One of its strengths is the selection of authors... The book is timely, because the time when warming may become an observed reality is close, and this synthesis will be of great value in the planning and conduct of related research. It is a book for the practicing biological scientist rather than the policy maker of even the generalist. --BIOSCIENCE
