How is human interference affecting the Tundra Biome?
Because not enough people are looking after it:
1. Climate Change - if the temperature rises then the permafrost will start to melt, this changes the physical structure of the soil
2. Climate Change - if the permafrost melts then this will release large quantities of Methane that is currently trapped in the ice
3. Natural Resources - the Thundra contains large reserves of natural gas that is now becoming commercially viable
4. Farming - industrial scale farming has a significant impact on the land

What are some threats to the Arctic tundra?
With global temperatures on the rise the tundra will undergo some major changes that end up acting as positive feedback on the global warming phenomenon. In the summer plants grow quickly, taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, this season normally only lasts for a short period. Before any organic mater has a chance to decay, it freezes again. Thus, carbon from the atmosphere is sequestered and locked in the permafrost. However, with global rise in temperatures, the tundra is releasing carbon back into the atmosphere. It no longer acts as a sink.

"Tundra wolf" is one of many names for the gray wolf, the largest of all canid species.
Geographic RangeThe gray wolf historically lived all over most of the northern hemisphere, as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as Central America, central Asia and northern Africa. Due to habitat destruction, human predation and habitat destruction, wolves have a much smaller geographic range in the 21st century. Modern gray wolves are found only in North America and Eurasia. Seven Eurasian and five North American subspecies of gray wolf are officially recognized.
HabitatGray wolves are wide ranging and adaptive. Although they stay away from areas heavily cultivated or populated with humans, they can be found in mountains, forests, the Arctic tundra, prairies and deserts. These highly territorial wolves maintain a home range of anywhere between 130 and 8,000 square miles, and viciously defend it against intruders. The size of a wolf pack's home range depends on the amount and density of prey in a given location.
