The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial factor in shaping plant community, biodiversity, metabolic processes and ecosystem dynamics for montane ecosystems. [1]

The southern part of the territory (most of the mainland portion) has a subarctic climate, while the islands and northern coast have a polar climate.
