Vegetation and Production Ecology of an Alaskan Arctic Tundra
This volume on botanical research in tundra represents the culmination of four years of intensive and integrated field research centered at Barrow, Alaska. The volume summarizes the most significant results and interpretations of the pri mary producer projects conducted in the U.S. IBP Tundra Biome Program (1970-1974). Original data reports are available from the authors and can serve as detailed references for interested tundra researchers. Also, the results of most projects have been published in numerous papers in various journals. The introduction provides a brief overview of other ecosystem components. The main body presents the results in three general sections. The summary chapter is an attempt to integrate ideas and information from the previous papers as well as extant literature. In addition, this chapter focuses attention on pro cesses of primary production which should receive increased emphasis. Although this book will not answer all immediate questions, it hopefully will enhance future understanding of the tundra, particularly as we have studied it in Northern Alaska.
Tundra
Updated for 2020. Describes the Arctic tundra, the kinds of animals that dwell there, and how someday the tundra might shrink from global warming.

The Tundra Biome
A mountain goat jumps from one rocky ledge to another a group of arctic hares huddle together for warmth a musk ox uses it hooves to dig for plants in the snow Welcome to the tundra biome! Through simple text and color photos, readers will learn about the difference between the arctic and alpine tundra, which plants and animals live there, and how they have been able to adapt and thrive in the frozen tundra. In a follow-up activity, readers will utilize a graphic organizer to share their research on tundra wildlife and the adaptations that enable them to live in this harsh but beautiful biome.

Ecology of Arctic Environments
Once thought of as a pristine environment, it is now all too apparent that the Arctic is a sink for pollutants transported northwards over long distances in the atmosphere and oceans, and is also likely to be subject to major climate change as a result of global warming. Many ecologists are currently seeking to further our understanding of how arctic ecosystems function, and to detect and predict anthropogenic changes which may occur within them. This book, resulting from a British Ecological Society Special Symposium, addresses these issues.
What If There Were No Lemmings?
