Question

Please provide me with PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL(s) or primary literature articles (ones that have abstract and is peer reviewed) about:

Impact of over development such as towns and roads and how it affects migrations of organisms or other affects IN TUNDRA ECOSYSTEM ( impacts could be on organisms, trophic interactions, nutrient cycles, biodiversity of the ecosystem, migration, abundance, etc!)

HAS TO BE IN TUNDRA ECOSYSTEM!

Answer 1

I will provide some points on over development affected Tundra Ecosystem:-

• Over development lead to climatic change, which in turn caused change in soil temperature and thus affected the growth of shrubs and snow falling.
• It also increased the risk on forest fires and draught.
• carbon produced from air pollution settled on snow and caused faster melting.
• Chemicals used in coolants like CFCs caused ozone depletion.
• Toxic mercury produced by burning coals caused threat to animal and human life in their and caused lichen amount to reduce.
• drilling wells thaw permafrost, and heavy vehicles and pipeline constructions caused damage to soil.
• caused increase in number of some invasive species due to climate change
• it also caused decrease in number of some native species of reindeers.
• caused competition among animals for example arctic fox and red fox( from south).
