What evidence exists on the interlinkages between ecological and societal impacts of borealisation of the arctic? A systematic map protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the global climate rapidly warms, one pervasive impact is the "borealisation" of the Arctic. Borealisation occurs when the species, communities and ecological processes of the Arctic transform to resemble that of more boreal lower latitudes. Such change is likely to have profound impacts on the diverse communities and cultures of the Arctic. Some of these impacts are starting to be documented, however this evidence has not been synthesised systematically. This systematic map protocol will therefore address the research question: "What evidence exists on the interlinkages between ecological and societal impacts of borealisation of the Arctic?" Additionally, this systematic map will support two current assessments of the Arctic Council working groups on the societal and
