BIOTIC CONDITIONS

Rodents abundance evaluation:

low

Breeding conditions:

Arctic Foxes were numerous in spring. Few unidentified voles were met in floodplain. Most of the wader nests near settlement were destroyed by local people, gathering eggs for food. Buzzards were breeding at a low density and had small clutches. Among skuas only Long-tailed was found breeding with low numbers. In typical tundra relatively common were Bar-tailed Godwit, and Long-billed Dowitcher.
 

Rodent dynamics:

Siberian Lemmings were rare, but winter tracks were found.
