Climate change has been studied by scientists for some time. However, the impact of climate change on the Arctic is of even more concern. The Arctic is expected to experience the most dramatic changes and at the same time undergo more rapid warming than any other biome on earth. Compared to other biomes, the Arctic has been relatively constant over time but is considered to have little resistance to climate change. For this reason, the Arctic is particularly vulnerable to the relatively rapid, major climate changes that are being observed on earth today. Select ALL of the ways in which climate change will likely affect the stability of the Arctic ecosystem.
