Abstract

Polar regions are remote areas that have a great influence on the Earth’s climate and therefore on the environment, ecosystems, and human society. These regions are highly sensitive to climate change, which increases their importance for the future of polar ecosystems. In fact, the three areas that have experienced the fastest warming in the last two decades have been Alaska, Siberia, and the Antarctic Peninsula. The Poles act as heat sinks of the global climate system, and respond to climate changes produced anywhere else on Earth and at the same time condition them
