things that many affect the things who live in tundra are:

How does this affect those who live there?

• It takes longer for their crops to grow which affects humans.
• These plants also have a hard time recovering from disturbences
• The animals who live their can be overhunted by the humans.
• Because many people live there to extract oil and mine other chemicals, this releases pollutions for both the animals and humans.
• Many animals, because of the cold temperatures, have to hibernate

• Much like many tundra's the tundra in russia is found in the north far from the equator, which is why the place is more cold
• Some russian cities in tundra are Anadyr, Dikson, Kahabarovo, Kara, Matochkin Shar, Murmansk, Nordvik, Polyarnyy and Tiksi
• The ecomsytems in russia are distrabruted through layers.

Location and Nearest ecosystems

• Right above the tundra there is no forest.
