BIOTIC
CONDITIONS
|
| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low
|
|
|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Rodent-feeding birds did not have a successful season (only one nest of Arctic Skua was found), and were rare on movements. Breeding Arctic Foxes were rare (two inhabited dens were found), and subsequently rare on movements.
|
|
|
Rodent dynamics:
|
| Lemmings were extremely rare and sporadically distributed; their populations were probably beginning to increase. Root Voles were recorded in small numbers at watersheds 30 to 40 km from the coast.
