 The biome I am doing is the “ Tundra “. The Tundra are among earths coldest, harshest biomes known to man. Tundra's are found in artic and mountain top regions where the temperature is cold and windy and rainfall is scant. Tundra's are snow covered most of the year until summer brings a burst of wildflowers.

 Every shaded area is where a tundra can be found. All tundra's can be found in the artic or most northern parts of a continent

 All animals that can found in a tundra area are polar bears, grizzly bears, white wolves, pikas, artic fox, Etc..  All animals feed on low-lying insects and plants which are also found in a tundra regions  Question: Which type of plants do all animals in the tundra eat on?  Question: What animal do most carnivores feed on ? artic fox Pikas

 Plants that are found in a tundra are bearberry, artic moss, caribou moss, diamond leaf willow, Labrador tea, Pasque flower and Tufted saxifrage Plants. Labrador bearberries  Questions: Which plant uses chlorophyll and the sun to create heat and nourishment ?  What plant do most people and animals eat ?

 A tundra is found in high latitudes.  This biome is more like a plain but with little to no trees.  In a tundra region short grass, flowers, and green-like sedges, along with covers of mosses and lichens are dominate forms of vegetation in a tundra.  Questions: Around what time of the year do most flowers bloom?  Are there any trees located in a tundra? image of a Lichens Artic willow shrub

 Due to human activity and global warming the tundra's are in dangerous situations.  Ever since the glaciers started melting from global warming all the water is flooding and killing all plants and species. Human activity such as pollution and other human designs are also putting every tundra in danger.  Melting glaciers( Flooding) Human Activity  Question: What human activity is putting tundra's in danger?  Why are the glaciers melting?

 The average precipitation to on a tundra is 6 – 10 inches ( mostly snow ) Fall most of the year.  The average temperature on a tundra is about - 18° F (-28° C) during the winter months temperatures can drop sometimes to -94° F (- 70° C). During the summer months the temperature can reach up to 54° F (12° C) but can get as cold as 37° F (3° C). Average summer temperatures range from 37° to 60° (3° to 16°C).

 Some threats to this biome are stronger ultra rays that will harm the tundra, oil spills can kill wildlife and significantly damage tundra ecosystems, buildings and roads can put pressure on the permafrost causing it to melt. Endangered species Animals; polar bears, Artic Fox, Arctic Peregrine Falcon, Eskimo Curlew, Wood Bison, Caribou, and grizzly bears.

 Tundra's are globally important because even though tundra's are located in a cold environment, they still provide very rare natural resources such as uranium, oil and soil- bound carbon.  Tundra’s also filters millions liter of water.

 Tundra- A treeless area between the icecap and the tree line of Arctic regions, having a permanently frozen subsoil and supporting low-growing vegetation such as lichens, mosses, and stunted shrubs.  Permafrost- a layer of frozen soil and dead plants that extends some 1,476 feet under the surface.
