Purpose
The Canadian Arctic contains about one-third of all circumpolar tundra and this land has particular cultural, biophysical and economic significance for all Canadians, especially its northern residents. However, global warming in the Arctic is occurring at an unprecedented rate and is driving significant changes in terrestrial and oceanic systems, such that feedbacks amplifying the warming are inevitable. On the Arctic tundra the alteration of vegetation communities and consequently their interactions with the atmosphere will play a significant role in future warming. Hence, we need to improve our understanding of these ecosystems and their role in the climate system.
