It also outlines potential directions of the transformation of Western Sørkapp Land. Western Sørkapp Land has been experiencing dramatic natural changes such as glacial recession, coastline retreat, emergence of new landforms and Quaternary deposits, as well as changes in the water drainage and network due to global warming. Western Sørkapp Land is a very remote and diverse region, which is representative of the European Arctic. The establishment of South Spitsbergen National Park has led to a regeneration of the local reindeer herd, which has caused overgrazing of the local tundra resulting in altered plant communities and soil erosion. They have also destroyed numerous bird nests. The transformation of Western Sørkapp Land is set to continue.    . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Geography,$x2211-4165 606 $aClimate change 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aPolar Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16020 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aGeomorphology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010 607 $aPolar regions 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 14$aPolar Geography. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 676 $a914.81 702 $aZiaja$b Wies?aw$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254108203321 996 $aTransformation of the natural environment in Western Sørkapp Land (Spitsbergen) since the 1980s$92517150 997 $aUNINA
