Protection of Natural Environments in the Tundra,
Abstract
The tundra is a rapidly developing, yet exhaustible source of a variety of natural resources, the most important of which is the vegetation cover. The natural productivity of the vegetation cover is insignificant; it decreases significantly in a south to north direction. This pattern must not serve as a justification for a negligent attitude toward exceptionally important problem's involving the balance of matter and energy in the expanses of the tundra. A concerned attitude toward the vegetation cover and its rational use are the basic prerequisite for retention of its role in the biological cycling of matter.
