|a The Arctic marine ecosystem contains multiple
elements that present alternative states. The most obvious
of which is an Arctic Ocean largely covered by an ice sheet
in summer versus one largely devoid of such cover. Ecosystems
under pressure typically shift between such alternative
states in an abrupt, rather than smooth manner, with
the level of forcing required for shifting this status termed
threshold or tipping point. Loss of Arctic ice due to
anthropogenic climate change is accelerating, with the
extent of Arctic sea ice displaying increased variance at
present, a leading indicator of the proximity of a possible
tipping point. Reduced ice extent is expected, in turn, to
trigger a number of additional tipping elements, physical,
chemical, and biological, in motion, with potentially large
impacts on the Arctic marine ecosystem. |
