“…Due to a weakening of the Atlantic transfer of air masses and an increase in the meridional transfer, cold humid air from the Arctic is moving south along the meridian and colliding with the over-heated Mongolian anticyclone (Mokhov et al 2013). In this collision zone of the fronts (Kozlov et al 2019;Akperov et al, 2021), hurricane winds and torrential precipitation have been recently observed (Fig. 4e), and this has led to the steppes and sands turning ''green'' in some areas of Mongolia, Khakassia, and Tuva (Kirpotin et al 2021a).…”

A recent multidisciplinary compilation of studies on changes in the Siberian environment details how climate is changing faster than most places on Earth with exceptional warming in the north and increased aridity in the south. Impacts of these changes are rapid permafrost thaw and melt of glaciers, increased flooding, extreme weather events leading to sudden changes in biodiversity, increased forest fires, more insect pest outbreaks, and increased emissions of CO 2 and methane. These trends interact with sociological changes leading to land-use change, globalisation of diets, impaired health of Arctic Peoples, and challenges for transport. Local mitigation and adaptation measures are likely to be limited by a range of public perceptions of climate change that vary according to personal background. However, Siberia has the possibility through land surface feedbacks to amplify or suppress climate change impacts at potentially global levels. Based on the diverse studies presented in this Ambio Special Issue, we suggest ways forward for more sustainable environmental research and management.
