Snow thickness, duration of snow coverage and amount of ice covering the soil are crucial for the development of biota in the Arctic tundra environment. The snow thickness and optical properties control the amount of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) that is available for vegetation. A late
Snowmelt runoff presents an enhanced threat of environmental damage. Soluble impurities which have accumulated in the snow during winter months are transported to the lower portion of the snow cover early in the melting season due to melt-freeze cycles. These contaminants are removed rapidly at very
