Wetlands Biomes 
These biomes are found all over the world, from the
Arctic tundra to tropical regions, and play crucial roles in maintaining biodiversity and supporting various ecological processes
...Some of the major threats to wetlands include: Urban development Agricultural expansion Pollution
Climate change These threats are causing the degradation and loss of wetlands at an alarming rate, leading to the decline of biodiversity and the disruption of ecosystem functions
...
Effects of UV Radiation on Tundras 
Tundras are vast, treeless regions found in the
Arctic and Antarctic characterized by low temperatures, permafrost, and a short growing season
...mechanisms to protect themselves from UV damage, excessive exposure can lead to reduced growth, decreased reproductive success, and
changes in plant community composition
...studying the responses of plants, animals, and microorganisms to UV exposure, researchers can assess the long-term impacts of
climate change and ozone depletion on these fragile environments
...
Wetlands Ecosystems 
Wetlands are found all over the world, from the icy tundra of the
Arctic to the steamy swamps of the tropics
...Carbon Storage Wetlands store large amounts of carbon in their soils, helping to mitigate
climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions
...
Tundra Soil Health and Ecosystem Resilience 
Factors Affecting Tundra Soil Health Several factors can impact the health of tundra soils, including
climate change, human activities, and natural disturbances
...Warming temperatures in the
Arctic are causing permafrost to thaw, leading to changes in soil structure and composition
...
Tundra Soil Health and Fertility 
Factors Affecting Tundra Soil Health Several factors can impact the health and fertility of tundra soil, including
climate change, human activities, and natural disturbances
...As temperatures in the
Arctic continue to rise, permafrost is thawing at an alarming rate, causing changes in soil structure and nutrient availability
...
Vegetation Types Studied 
Tundra The tundra is a cold, treeless biome found in the
Arctic and high mountain regions
...Ecologists study tundra ecosystems to monitor the impacts of
climate change on these fragile environments
...
Wetlands and Their Seasonal Water Storage 
These diverse wetland types can be found in different regions around the world, from tropical rainforests to
arctic tundra
...Threats to Wetlands Wetlands face various threats, including pollution, habitat destruction, and
climate change ...
Mosses 
Some common types of mosses found in tundras include: Species Description
Arctic Moss (Calliergon giganteum) This moss species is well-adapted to cold tundra environments and forms dense mats on the ground
...Threats to Mosses in Tundras Despite their resilience, mosses in tundras are facing threats from
climate change, habitat destruction, and pollution
...
Effects of Permafrost Thaw on Biomes 
As the ground becomes more waterlogged and nutrient availability
changes, plant communities may shift, with some species thriving while others struggle to adapt
...Species Impact
Arctic fox Loss of habitat due to changing vegetation patterns Caribou Disruption of migration routes and foraging areas Snowy owl Changes in prey availability due to shifting ecosystems Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies
...Climate change mitigation: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable practices and policies can help slow the rate of permafrost thaw and limit its cascading effects on tundra biomes
...
Rewilding Initiatives for Large-Scale Ecosystem Recovery Projects 
Rewilding Network Finland A collaborative effort to restore and reconnect habitats for threatened species in the
Arctic region Benefits of Rewilding Rewilding initiatives offer a range of benefits for both the environment and society, including: Enhanced biodiversity and ecosystem
