Preface; Acknowledgments; Contents; Contributors; John Richard Martin "Joonas" Derome (1947-2010): In Memoriam; List of Abbreviations; 1 Introduction: Climate and Land-Cover Changes in the Arctic; 2 Recent Changes in Arctic Vegetation: Satellite Observations and Simulation Model Predictions; 3 High-Latitude Forest Cover Loss in Northern Eurasia, 2000.
2005; 4 Characterization and Monitoring of Tundra-Taiga Transition Zone with Multi-sensor Satellite Data; 5 Vegetation Cover in the Eurasian Arctic: Distribution, Monitoring, and Role in Carbon Cycling.
This volume is a compilation of studies on interactions of land-cover/land-use change with climate in a region where the climate warming is most pronounced compared to other areas of the globe. The climate warming in the far North, and in the Arctic region of Northern Eurasia in particular, affects both the landscape and human activities, and hence human dimensions are an important aspect of the topic. Environmental pollution together with climate warming may produce irreversible damages to the current Arctic ecosystems. Regional land-atmosphere feedbacks may have large global importance. Remo.
