Abstract:
Cold regions around the world include Arctic, Antarctic and High Mountain regions featuring low temperatures, ice-covered landscapes, permafrost, and unique ecologic interrelations. These environments are among the most sensitive to climate change and are changing rapidly as the global climate gets warmer. This editorial explores the complexity of the impacts of climate change on cold regions, highlighting recent changes across Earth system. The Special Issue here presented compiles studies that explore the climate change in different cold regions from various perspectives, including paleoclimatic reconstructions, isotherm shifts and climate projections. Despite progress, significant questions remain, demanding interdisciplinary approaches to better understand the interconnected factors shaping cold regions.
摘要:
世界各地的寒冷地区包括北极,南极和高山地区低温,冰雪覆盖的景观,永久冻土,和独特的生态相互关系。这些环境是对气候变化最敏感的环境之一,并且随着全球气候变暖而迅速变化。这篇社论探讨了气候变化对寒冷地区影响的复杂性,强调地球系统最近的变化。这里发表的特刊汇编了从不同角度探讨不同寒冷地区气候变化的研究,包括古气候重建,等温线变化和气候预测。尽管取得了进展,重大问题依然存在,需要跨学科的方法来更好地理解塑造寒冷地区的相互关联的因素。
