“Important wintering species include mute swan Cygnus olor, white-fronted and greylag goose Anser albifrons and A. anser and white-tailed eagle Haliaeetus albicilla.”
“An analysis of Hadley Centre spring and summer temperature and precipitation data over the last 50 years, interpolated over the currently known arctic distribution areas of the white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons) and the Taymir population of the red knot (Calidris canutus canutus), demonstrates a significant correlation between the mean June temperature and the percentage of juveniles in the population as a measure of breeding success.”
Recent and projected changes in arctic species distributions and potential ranges
“The HadCM2GSa1 model, forced with a 1% per year increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, projects a moderate increase in mean June temperature (by the time CO2 concentrations double) in the Taymir breeding area of the white-fronted goose, which is likely to favor the goose population.”
