Vegetation Expert Network

The Vegetation Expert Network of the CBMP-Terrestrial provides information on the status and potential changes in Arctic vegetation and advice for monitoring.

The Vegetation Expert Network of the CBMP-Terrestrial is tasked with advising on how to implement vegetation components of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring Plan. In the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring Plan, vegetation has been identified as a Focal Ecosystem Component (FEC). FECs are key elements of the Arctic terrestrial ecosystem. Changes in FECs status likely indicate changes in the overall environment.

Vegetation FECs include:

  • Trees
  • Shrubs
  • Forbs
  • Graminoids
  • Mosses
  • Lichens
  • Food species
  • Rare species/species of special concern
  • Non-native species
