Originally published in 1974, Arctic and Alpine Environments
examines, the relatively simple ecosystems of arctic and alpine
lands that still occupy extensive areas little disturbed by modern
technology. The book argues that there is a necessity for carefully
controlled development of the resources of these regions and
suggests that there is a risk of irreversible disturbance without
full understanding of these regions. This book provides a detailed
documentation of cold-stressed arctic and alpine terrestrial
environments and systematically deals with the present and past
physical environment - climate, hydrology and glaciology; biota -
treeline, vegetation, vertebrate zoology, and historical
biogeography; abiotic processes - geomorphological and pedological
and the role of man - bioclimatology, archaeology and technological
impact, including radioecology. The book will appeal to academics
and students of environmental and biological science, as well as
providing a significant source for conservationists', government
agencies and industrial organizations.
