Growing Season Dynamics
Southwest Alaska Network. 2018. Growing Season Dynamics. Southwest Alaska Network
Warming is expected to affect the seasonality of ecosystem processes in southwest Alaska, including the length and timing of the growing season, snow season, and lake-ice season. The start of the growing season (green-up) affects wildlife movement, habitat use, and forage availability in the spring, and by extension, the health of the populations using these early season resources.
