| Abstract | From Alaska to Greenland, agriculture is expanding in many Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions. Growing seasons in these areas have lengthened, allowing for more intensive farming practices and greater crop diversity. This northward shift presents opportunities for improved local food security. However, the potential long-term impacts of agricultural expansion to freshwater sources and ecosystems remain poorly understood. This project will investigate how farming practices and freshwater changes affec |
