摘要

东北部的山脉对于维持生物多样性、娱乐机会和淡水资源至关重要,也是依赖寒冷的动植物群的潜在避难所。缅因州的山区、新英格兰北部的其他地区、纽约的阿迪朗达克山脉和加拿大东部(图1)距离美国和加拿大最大的大都市地区只有一天的车程,但人们认为这些地区基本上没有分裂和完整。许多山区生态系统通过保护工作或事实上由于难以接近的地形而受到保护,免受当地压力的影响,如人类发展、农业和其他人为变化,但气候变化等其他压力正在影响这些脆弱而独特的系统。美国东北部的变暖速度比世界上大多数其他地区都快,预计这种趋势将持续下去(Karmalkar和Bradley,2018)。尽管缺乏缅因州山区的详细数据,但研究表明,中高海拔地区以及更北部地区正在经历最大的气候变化(Pepin等人,2015)。这些变化正在影响各级的生物多样性和生态系统服务(Weiskopf等人,2020)。因此,山区生态系统对科学研究非常感兴趣,这些研究检验了关于物种相互作用、景观生态学、物理过程(水文、地球化学)、气候变化避难所和临界点以及生物群在极端环境中的生理反应的假设。在过去50年中,一些区域活动探讨了这些问题。1972年4月29日,第一届缅因州山区会议在缅因州奥古斯塔召开,“目的是讨论缅因州山区环境的性质以及这些地区的当前和未来用途”(缅因州山区委员会,1972年)。

Introduction: Climate Change in the Mountains of Maine and the Northeast
Mountains in the Northeast are critical for maintaining biodiversity, recreational opportunities, and freshwater resources, and as potential refugia for cold-dependent flora and fauna. The mountain regions of Maine, the rest of northern New England and New York’s Adirondacks, and eastern Canada (Fig. 1) are within a day’s drive of the largest metropolitan areas in the US and Canada, yet are recognized as being largely unfragmented and intact. Many mountain ecosystems are protected from local pressures such as human development, agriculture, and other anthropogenic change via conservation efforts or de facto due to inaccessible terrain, but other stressors such as climate change are affecting these fragile and unique systems. The northeastern US is warming faster than most other regions of the world, and these trends are projected to continue (Karmalkar and Bradley 2018). Although detailed data are lacking from Maine’s mountains, research has shown that midto high-elevation areas, as well as more northerly regions, are experiencing the largest climate changes (Pepin et al. 2015). These changes are affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services at all levels (Weiskopf et al. 2020). Thus, mountain ecosystems are of great interest for scientific research that tests hypotheses about species interactions, landscape ecology, physical processes (hydrology, geochemistry), climate-change refugia and tipping points, and physiological response of biota in an extreme environment. These issues were explored in several regional events over the past 5 decades. On April 29, 1972, the first Maine Mountain Conference convened in Augusta, ME, “for the purpose of discussing the nature of the Maine mountain environment and also the present and future uses of these areas” (Maine Mountain Committee 1972).

期刊介绍: The Northeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the northeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from Virginia to Missouri, north to Minnesota and Nunavut, east to Newfoundland, and south back to Virginia. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion. The journal welcomes manuscripts based on observations and research focused on the biology of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and communities as it relates to their life histories and their function within, use of, and adaptation to the environment and the habitats in which they are found, as well as on the ecology and conservation of species and habitats. Such studies may encompass measurements, surveys, and/or experiments in the field, under lab conditions, or utilizing museum and herbarium specimens. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, anatomy, behavior, biogeography, biology, conservation, evolution, ecology, genetics, parasitology, physiology, population biology, and taxonomy. Strict lab, modeling, and simulation studies on natural history aspects of the region, without any field component, will be considered for publication as long as the research has direct and clear significance to field naturalists and the manuscript discusses these implications.
