Abstract
Warming due to climate change is the most rapid in the arctic, a phenomenon known as arctic amplification, hence, spring phenology arises earlier in arctic as compared to temperate regions (Lameris et al., 2017; Layton‐Matthews et al., 2020). Goose migration has advanced in recent decades to reach the arctic breeding grounds early, their egg laying, however, has not changed accordingly (Lameris et al., 2018). This causes a mismatch between the arrival and breeding of migratory birds in accordance with spring phenology in arctic, as their wintering grounds in temperate areas have a comparatively lower warming rate (Bauer et al., 2008; Nolet et al., 2020). The aim of this study is to understand the effects of the mismatch between the arrival of geese and early spring onset on the migration and population demographics of arctic breeding geese.
