ALT Fig. 3. A summary illustration of potential factors influencing phage abundance (PA) in Arctic coastal marine systems in summer season: (A) ice meltwater inflow contributing to high PA; (B) VA released from lysed bacteria cells; (C) enhanced sunlight exposure causing higher phage decay; (D) adsorption of PA to sediment leading to PA loss.

ALT Fig. 1. The reindeer husbandry area in Fennoscandia, showing the reindeer herding districts in Sweden and Finland. Herding districts included in the study are marked with a black dot. In Sweden, herding districts are divided into mountain (with summer ranges in the mountains and winter ranges in the forest), forest, and concession herding districts, the latter solely situated in the forest region. In Finland, the reindeer husbandry area is divided into the Sámi home area in the north, the central area (specially intended for reindeer husbandry), and a southern (“other”) reindeer management area. The Sámi home area is officially part of the area specially intended for reindeer husbandry (central). The map is displayed in North Pole Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection (ESRI:102017, WGS 84). Sources: Hydrography retrieved from Lantmäteriet (2023). Country boundaries retrieved from Esri World Countries map data (2022).

ALT Fig. 3. This framework supports the planning of protected area networks by integrating climate and ecological projections with anthropogenic demands. The final output identifies priority conservation areas. The entire process is co-designed with stakeholders, Indigenous peoples, and policymakers, who contribute data, define goals, refine outputs, and recommend collaborative protection strategies.

ALT Workshop workflow and outcomes—Panel 1: Motivation and visioning. After introducing the motivation for visioning desirable futures for Arctic biodiversity (left), we set the scene with three “biodiversity stories” (bottom-right) and used an imaginary phone call made in the future to develop our individual visions (top-right).
