Q
Human factors affecting water cycle in TRF
A
Deforestation (reduce interception and evaporation)
Afforestation (Increase soil stability
Farming techniques (temp forests to balance water cycle)
Tourism (water extraction for hotel resorts)
2
Q
Human factors affecting water cycle in Tundra
A
Oil and gas production (permafrost melting, increased run off)
Oil and gas management strategies (elevated pipelines, cold air circulated between them to prevent melting)
3
Q
TRF > Tundra in water cycle
A
Systems no longer in equilibrium Stores or flows could be affected more Scale of significance (e.g. local, national etc) Directly or indirectly because of humans Changes to water cycle as a whole
Deforestation increases overland flow and decreases infiltration/percolation
