Wetlands - threatened Arctic ecosystems: vulnerability to climate change and adaptation options / Tatiana Minayeva, Andrey Sirin.

Title: Wetlands - threatened Arctic ecosystems: vulnerability to climate change and adaptation options / Tatiana Minayeva, Andrey Sirin.
Author(s): Minayeva, Tatiana.
Sirin, Andrey.
Date: 2009.
Publisher: Paris: UNESCO
In: Climate change and Arctic sustainable development : scientific, social, cultural and educational challenges. (2009.),
Abstract: Discusses recent indications that Arctic wetlands are undergoing active degradation induced by human impacts and climate change. According to Ramsar Convention, terrestrial and freshwater wetlands may cover up to 60% of total area of Arctic region. Their vulnerability is due to characteristically high integrity, complex hydrological and energy cycles reflected in gas and mass exchange, dependence on permafrost and water, strong influence on adjacent landscapes, specific biodiversity, irreversible successions, and low restoration capacity.
