There is now an increased awareness of the importance of polar
regions in the Earth system, as well as their vulnerability to
anthropogenic derived change, including of course global climate
change. This new edition offers a concise but comprehensive
introduction to polar ecology and has been thoroughly revised and
updated throughout, providing expanded coverage of marine
ecosystems and the impact of humans. It incorporates a detailed
comparison of the Arctic and Antarctic systems, with a particular
emphasis on the effects of climate change, and describes marine,
freshwater, glacial, and terrestrial habitats. This breadth of
coverage is unique in the polar biology literature.
As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, particular
emphasis is placed on the organisms that dominate these extreme
environments although pollution, conservation and experimental
aspects are also considered. This accessible text is suitable for
both senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in
polar ecology, often as part of a wider marine biology degree
program. It will also be of value and use to the many professional
ecologists and conservation biologists requiring a concise overview
of the topic.
