Description:
The “North” is an elusive, relative geographical concept which in global terms usually refers to an undefined area in the higher latitudes. More specific definitions can be made, such as for areas within the arctic circle, but this excludes extensive northern sub-arctic regions above the 50 o line of latitude, and boreal regions in continental interiors that may extend slightly further south. The effects of recent climate warming have been particularly dramatic in many such “northern” regions. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
