This book describes the transformation of the environment and landscape of Western S rkapp Land based on research data collected by Jagiellonian University scientific expeditions in the period 1980-1986 and 2008. Western S rkapp Land has been experiencing dramatic natural changes such as glacial recession, the emergence of new landforms, and quaternary deposits as well as changes in the water drainage and network due to global warming. The establishment of South Spitsbergen National Park has led to a regeneration of the local reindeer herd and consequently the overgrazing of the local tundra resulting in altered plant communities. The potential future transformations of Western S rkapp Land are outlined in the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wieslaw Ziaja\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8323332312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788323332312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jagiellonian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Wieslaw Ziaja","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48450154987775,"sku":"9788323332312","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_696b16b4-003b-4aba-8d57-be19e511a7b3.jpg?v=1777266445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transformation-of-the-natural-environment-wieslaw-ziaja-9788323332312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
