In 2020, CBMP published a special issue of the journal AMBIO “Terrestrial Biodiversity in a Rapidly Changing Arctic” . This work synthetizes recent trends of arctic biodiversity, and presents the CBMP monitoring plans for future. 12 COAT researchers were authors of the papers, COAT data on rodents and ptarmigan contributed in the synthesis, and one of the papers presents the conceptual underpinning of the COAT moss tundra module. Below, we link to the papers that COAT has contributed to.
