What changes in populations, biodiversity, key species, and living resources are associated with Arctic Change? • What impact does Arctic Change have on living resources (biomass, diversity, distribution, health, physiological status, and annual biological phenomena [phenology])? • How does Arctic Change, as reflected in populations, biodiversity, key species, and ecosystems, interact with driving forces such as harvesting and cumulative impacts of regional development? • How do changes in species composition and trophic dynamics associated with Arctic Change affect ecosystem structure and function, including biogeochemical cycles? • What are the most sensitive biotic indicators of Unaami (e. g. , indicator species, genetic change, demography, and recruitment, abundance. )?
