As climate fluctuations alter the habitat availability of polar bears, it is crucial that we identify the preferred habitat of polar bears to fully understand their future required needs and appropriately support management of polar bear populations.... the preferred habitat of polar bears typically depends on seal availability[. Therefore], stable annual sea ice, which provides a platform for seals to give birth in the spring, along with the dynamic ice edge in spring and early summer are important factors in polar bear population. 1, record 6, English, - preferred%20habitat
