What would the Arctic tundra look like without grazing?

30 Aug 2018 What would the Arctic tundra look like without grazing?

In the Arctic, almost all ice-free land is grazed by wild or domesticated reindeer. Reindeer grazing affects the Arctic landscape by controlling what type of plants and what plant species that are there. For example, they can hold back the spread of trees and tall shrubs and in general graze down tall vegetation. They also affect nutrient cycling, ecosystem processes and how the vegetation and ecosystem responses to climate change. To better understand what future vegetation patterns and biodiversity might look like in the Arctic, it is therefore important to study the interaction between plants and herbivores.

About a day and a half after beginning the journey, Oden reached the marginal ice zone, where ice begins to appear on the ocean surface. The first measurement station was here. This station will serve as a point of reference to compare with the findings near the pole.
