The arctic tundra and boreal forest were once considered the last frontiers on earth because of their vast expanses remote from agricultural land-use change and industrial development. These regions are now, however, experiencing environmental and social changes that are as rapid as those occurring anywhere on earth. This paper summarizes the role of northern regions in the global system and provides a blueprint for assessing the factors that govern their sensitivity to social and environmental change.
北极苔原和北方森林曾因其远离农业土地利用变化和工业发展的广阔区域而被视为地球上最后的边疆。然而，这些地区如今正经历着与地球上其他任何地方一样迅速的环境和社会变化。本文总结了北方地区在全球系统中的作用，并提供了一个蓝图，用于评估影响其对社会和环境变化敏感度的因素。
