BIOTIC CONDITIONS

Rodents abundance evaluation:

high

Breeding conditions:

In the arctic tundra lemming abundance was high and Arctic Foxes bred. Snowy Owls had big clutches (eight to nine eggs); close to owls Brent Geese bred, and it is probable that also Red-breasted Geese bred also. Skuas and Rough-legged Buzzards were breeding. Breeding success of waders seemed to be high.
