BIOTIC
CONDITIONS
|
| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low
|
|
|
Breeding conditions:
|
| There were absolutely no lemming at all, so a hard predation pressure to breeding geese and eider ducks and waders. A lot of nests got predated by foxes and gulls. Many reindeers invaded in the second half of July (ca. 6000) and destroyed quite a serious number of nests as well. Generally very good breeding conditions. No human impact at all.
