Additional Information
This edited volume is devoted to one of the hottest topics of modern ecological and environmental sciences, i.e. to the alterations in ecological and biogeochemical cycling in impacted polar land and water ecosystems where at present the significant part of natural gas and oil production is developing both in Russia and in many other countries and in the nearest future these will be in the great progress. Being founded on the field monitoring of various parameters of biogeochemical cycles of polar ecosystems and relevant changes in ecological indexes and indicators, the authors suggest new biogeochemical technologies for assessing and managing environmental and geoenvironmental risks in severe climate conditions.
