DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Global Change Ecology (M.Sc.) Abstract  It is now w
 idely recognised that climate warming is in progress and is amplified at h
 igh northern latitudes where the current rate of warming is about double t
 he global average. Such changes are already having impacts on the Arctic’s
  physical end biological environments while continuing warming is likely t
 o have more profound effects than those currently observed. Further\, many
  of the impacts on biodiversity and feedbacks to climate such as greenhous
 e gas emissions and albedo in the Arctic are likely to have global consequ
 ences. However\, the Arctic is sparsely populated and the power of observa
 tion and projection of climate changes and their impacts are limited compa
 red to many other regions. An exception is the Abisko Scientific Research 
 Station that hosts up to about 700 visiting international scientists each 
 year. Here\, environmental monitoring and observation have been in  operat
 ion since 1913 and a large array of environmental and ecosystem manipulati
 on experiments has been deployed to project impacts on terrestrial ecosyst
 ems of future warming.  Analysis of the long-term environmental data shows
  increased warming over the past ca. 100 years with a recent period that i
 s warmer than any in the instrumental record. These temperature increases 
 are resulting in landscape level changes such as reduced snow depth\, loss
  of lake ice and permafrost and changes in the location of treeline and fo
 rest structure. Superimposed on these century-long changes are extreme eve
 nts that have lead to widespread damage to vegetation and provide signific
 ant challenges to the reindeer herding community as well as to the local a
 dministration responsible for the maintenance of infrastructures. The powe
 rful combination of Indigenous Peoples’ traditional ecological knowledge\,
  long-term observation and experimentation together provide insights into 
 future ecosystem changes that are not yet incorporated in ecosystem and dy
 namic vegetation models.
