Arctic Tipping Points

Presentation at a recent ASLO session “Impacts of Global Warming on Polar Ecosystems”, in Nice, France, co-chaired by the ATP team members Susana Agusti and Mikael Sejr, will result in two specific volumes. A Feature Section on impacts of climate warming on marine and freshwater polar ecosystems, containing a set of 4-5 synthesis and review papers, will be published in the journal ECOSYSTEMS. A special issue reporting original research on impacts of climate warming on marine and freshwater polar ecosystems to be published in the journal POLAR BIOLOGY. Both volumes will be coordinated by S. Agustí, M. Sejr, and C. M. Duarte.

More than half of the 22 invited and contributed manuscripts are partly or entirely derived from the ATP project. The manuscript will be submitted from September 20th to October 30th 2009.

S. Agusti, C. Duarte, M. Sejr and P. Wassmann convened at the Cape de Salines Lighthouse Field Station on Mallorca in order to work on the volume and to write one of the contributions for the feature section for Ecology: Footprints of climate change in the Arctic Marine Ecosystem
