• Description:
  Climate influences almost every aspect of caribou ecology, which means the Arctic’s rapid warming will have far-reaching, cascading, and complex impacts. The Arctic climate is strongly regional, such as differences between coastal and interior climates. Besides climate, geological influences on vegetation add to the regional differences which, in turn, complicate predicting how cold-adapted caribou (and their Eurasian counterpart, wild reindeer) can balance beneficial and adverse impacts of a warmer climate.
