Ain't a lot of soil above timberline, and the biological processes are very slow, and the tundra doesn't handle the disturbance well.

Rather than carry all that craptrap claptrap, why not just take a small bag of lime?

Once again, there ain't much soil up there - you can't bury it much at all, and the biological processes at altitude are very slow, so the turds stay around for some time. What good would lime to for that?
