BIOTIC
CONDITIONS
|
| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low
|
|
|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Breeding conditions were favourable for waterfowl. Nests of buzzards did not contain more than single chick. Arctic skuas, probably, bred, Long-tailed - not. Arctic foxes were common, but occupied dens not found. Wader reproduction results were average at the best.
|
|
|
Rodent dynamics:
|
| Rodents demonstrated mozaic distribution, mostly having low density, but Narrow-skulled vole locally was moderately abundant, while Collared Lemming - low.
