Аннотация:This State of Arctic Freshwater Biodiversity Report (SAFBR) is the first circumpolar assessment of key biotic elements, or ecosystem components, in Arctic freshwaters. The overall aim was to assess the current status and trends of freshwater biodiversity by geographical regions across the circumpolar Arctic. Specific objectives were to use existing monitoring data to: 1) assess alpha and beta biodiversity;
2) identify geographical locations with high biodiversity (i.e., biodiversity hotspots); 3) where possible, determine the primary environmental and human stressors associated with the observed changes in biodiversity; and 4) identify key monitoring locations for inclusion in future circumpolar assessments of ecological change in freshwaters.
