A temporary increase in the arctic hare population to more than 425

individuals.

Hares are among the primary consumers as they are herbivores while foxes

are  secondary consumers which feeds on the hares.Foxes will hunt the

hares for food which will drastically reduce their population

Increasing their population by 425 individuals with the hares having a

population of 400 will surely decrease their carrying capacity in the tundra

ecosystem.
