Abstract
Coastal ecosystems (coastal wetlands) of Arctic seas are tracts of the Earth’s surface showing a maximum diversity of living organisms due to a high heterogeneity of the area given that they are in oscillatory conditions. The greatest diversity of coastal ecosystems can be observed on open, shallow mud shores and in river mouths of northern tidal seas with salinized marine alluvium. Coasts of this type are widespread at the all seas of the North Ice Ocean basin.
Coastal wetlands are unique transitional zones between the sea and the coastal tundra and the.
communities built on permafrost. Massifs of maritime marshes support an important canal of the carbon extraction from the atmosphere and its burial and thus have the potential to lessen the greenhouse effect.
