Potential Sources for a Page on Arctic Ecology

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/016953479490152X This article would be a potential resource for a page on artic ecology. The article discusses the effects that climate change is having on artic tundra as a result of increased CO2 emissions due to human impact such as fossil fuels and greenhouse gases. The article also provides predictions of longterm effects on the ecosystems in the artic and eventually around the world. This would offer information for a section on 'long term effects of climate change' to accompany current information on artic ecology.

http://www.jstor.org/sici?sici=00129658%281995%293%3C694%3AROATTE%3E2.0.CO%3B2-x This article is also a potential resource for a page on artic ecology, and is a report on an experiment done involving the effects of climate change. The researchers manipulated light, temperature and nutrients in the tussock tundra to mimic the effects of climate change and see the natural effects that such changes have on ecosystems. This resource would be reliable because as a report on an experiment the information is objective and unbiased.

http://www.ecology.ethz.ch/education/Resilience_Stuff/Berkes_and_Jolly_2001.pdf This article discusses the impacts of human interaction with ecology and the resulting effects that it has on surrounding ecosystems. The article would be a reliable source for a page on arctic ecology as it provides information from a case study on the Inuvialuit people of Canada.

Added to Stephen A. Forbes Wikipedia Page under 'Biography": Forbes’ extensive knowledge was not limited to entomology, but throughout his life he also studied and achieved distinction in ichthyology, ornithology, river and stream biology and pollution, and the taxonomy of Crustacea.

In 1867, Forbes invested in a Strawberry farm in Carbondale, Illinois which, according to his daughter Ethel, sparked Forbes' interest in the flora of southern Illinois.
