Dramatic Biological Responses to Global Warming in the Arctic (3 of 3) (IMAGE)
Caption
The Arctic as we know it may soon be a thing of the past, according to the research of a large, international team led by Eric Post, associate professor of biology at Penn State University. The team carried out ecosystem-wide studies of the biological response to Arctic warming, and documented a wide range of responses by the plants, birds, animals, insects and humans living there. The team's results will be reported on Sept. 11, 2009, in the journal <I>Science</I>. This image, taken by Post, shows an adult female muskox and two calves in Greenland during 2008-2009.
