Why?
| Project Objective: | ARCTIC-BIODIVER is a multidisciplinary, multi-scale assessment that will evaluate freshwater biodiversity and food web dynamics along circumpolar gradients of nutrients and latitudinal temperature shifts to characterize the current state of biodiversity and potential scenarios for change in response to continued warming. |
| Call Objective: | The Call addresses two major (non-exclusive) priorities: - Development and application of scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions; - Consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in biodiversity scenarios. |
