THE BIOTIC RESPONSE TO A CHANGING CLIMATE: TRENDS IN ARCTIC FRESHWATER BIODIVERSITY ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
Within North America, the effects of climate change have historically been more pronounced in the west, with more evidence of warming temperatures in Alaska and the Northwest Territories than along the eastern coast of Nunavut. Though records of increased temperatures and increased occurrence of permafrost degradation have been noted, widespread assessment of biotic responses to the changing climate have been lacking in North America. Assessment of trends across the North American Arctic presents the opportunity to assess biotic responses to different rates of warming (west to east), with relatively little interaction from anthropogenic effects compared to more developed regions of the circumpolar Arctic. Benthic invertebrate data indicated a sharper decline in biodiversity with increasing latitude in eastern North America than in the west, with generally higher alpha diversity in western stations. In contrast, diatom diversity was more closely linked to regional geology than latitude, and longitudinal trends were less evident. Through the assessment of multiple trophic groups in the North American Arctic, this paper aims to characterize the current status in freshwater biodiversity and evaluate the dominant drivers of community composition.
