Arctic and Boreal Ecosystems Title Card for the Arctic

Detailed Description
Title card for the Arctic and Boreal Ecosystems goal. This shows a male Wilson's Warbler in a shrub on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska.
The Boreal-Arctic transition zone is one of the most dynamically changing zones in the far north. Northern regions are experiencing climate warming at nearly double the rate of lower latitudes. The USGS is developing a community-level understanding of ecosystem changes to improve our knowledge and understanding of how and why permafrost landscapes are changing.
