TUNDRA+CONSERVATION

What is the human impact on your biome (positive and negative)
===One negative impact is accidental (some times) but still a huge impact. When people go and get coal, natural gas, oil, iron ore, lead and zinc. While attempting to transport the resources some accidental spills occur. Humans don't mean to, but the damage is catastrophic on the animals and their ecosystems.One positive impact is the anthropogenic nitrogen deposition in the rocky mountain alpine Tundra. Anthropogenic deposition of nitrogen in the Rocky Mountain region is interfering with naturally occurring nitrogen cycle. Alpine tundra is particularly susceptible to alterations of nitrogen cycles due to its lower biological capacity. These alterations can lead to plant species changes through competitive displacement, which will provide positive feedback to further nitrogen increases and in turn affect groundwater ecosystems.===



What are the problems (at least 2) in your Biome that need to be addressed by humans.
===One problem in the Tundra that needs to be addressed by humans is nuclear testing and reactor accidents. There has been radioactive pollution. The pollution has been trapped in glaciers which have been melting, and running off onto plants and possible food sources for the entire biome.This could cause food poisoning for everything up there. It would also take the vegetation years, if not decades, to recover from such a blow. This must be addressed by humans. One problem is that people cant move coal or other materials without spills. Harming the enviroment severly.===

What are some of the positive solutions to these problems.
===One solution to this problem is that Humans are not building houses or drilling for oil. Humans are not building as much houses because of the extreme weather. And same thing for drilling for oil. Humans cant work in that extreme weather. This is a positive impact on the Tundra because the environment in that biome will not be harmed as much anymore. One solution to this problem is to invent a secure solid transport truck to carry coal or other materials safely to their destination without spills hurting ecosystems and getting ALL your materials. For maxium profit.===
