This paper presents a conceptual framework for implementing the long‐term ecosystem monitorin gprogramme Nuuk Basic in low arctic Greenland.
The overall purpose of Nuuk Basic is to collectlong‐term data quantifying seasonal and inter‐annual variations and long‐term changes in thebiological and geophysical properties of the terrestrial, fresh water and marine ecosystem compartments in relation to local, regional and global climate variability and change.The over allaim of Nuuk Basic is to establish a data platform which enables(i) a thorough description and analysis of climatic effects on the structure, function and feedback dynamics of a low arctic ecosystem, (ii) together with its exiting high arctic counterpart, Zackenberg Basic, a more complete spatial coverage of the general climate–ecosystems interactions across the Arctic, and (iii) an understanding of the interactions between human utilization of natural resources and climate effects.
The successful implementation and continued operation of Nuuk Basic will be secured by the internationally unique operational expertise Denmark/Greenland has gained through ten years operation of Zackenberg Basic.
