Vegetation and Temperature Distribution in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 79?N: A Formalized Spatial Approach
Joly, Daniel
Vegetation and Temperature Distribution in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 79?N: A Formalized Spatial Approach - 2006.
71
Climate change is a key issue, especially in the Arctic. However, this general observation is not sufficient to determine the consequences of this phenomenon since the impact of climate change varies with geographical position and local conditions in different environmental contexts. The study area is located at 79?N, in Kongsfjorden (Svalbard). Botanical observations and temperature measurements, remote sensing and topographical indices are input into a Geographical Information System. These GIS layers are then computed to provide variables that can give a statistical explanation of the temperature and vegetation distribution at high resolution.
