The Arctic OCR A Level Geography Case Study Earth Life Support System

ELSS Case study on the water and carbon cycles within the Arctic Tundra. This useful revision resource gives an in depth guide including information surrounding all specification points:

• water and carbon cycles specific to Arctic tundra, including the rates of
flow and distinct stores
• physical factors affecting the flows and stores in the cycles, including
temperature, rock permeability and porosity and relief
• physical factors affecting the flows and stores in the carbon cycle,
including temperature, vegetation, organic matter in soil and the
mineral composition of rocks
• seasonal changes in the water and carbon cycles in the Arctic tundra
• the impact of the developing oil and gas industry on the water and
carbon cycles
• management strategies used to moderate the impacts of the oil and
gas industry
