Tundra

Arctic Tundra Referred as “treeless plain”   Earth's coldest biome!  Earth's youngest biome! (formed 10,000 years ago) Located in the Northern Hemisphere (Alaska, Canada, and Siberia)   Known for its cold, desert like conditions Average Temperature (Winter): -34° C (-30° F)  Average Temperature (Summer): 3-12° C (37-54° F)  Arctic Tundra Wide variety of plants (1,700 kinds of plants)   Short growing season (50 – 60 Days)  Carbon Sink (Stored in permafrost) Animals adapted to long winters   Animals breed and raise young quickly in the summer Many animals hibernate during the winter, others alternative is to migrate south in the winter  Constant immigration and emigration  Arctic Tundra: Current Issues…

The tundra is defined as a large, treeless, and almost flat open space. They are located in the uppermost regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. In the tundra, most of the months’ average temperature is under the freezing point. The winters are long and harsh; in contrast, the summers are short and somewhat warm; however, the average monthly temperature is never above 10°C. Evaporation is poor, so there is very little precipitation and when there is, it’s dispersed evenly throughout the…

Arctic tundra The Arctic Tundra is found nearly everywhere in the North. They are found mostly in the arctic. The categorization of a tundra falls between a taiga and the ice caps. The zone is controlled by the extremes in the weather. In the arctic tundra there are two seasons: winter and summer. In the summer, the sun is present almost 24 hours a day. This amount of sun only warms up the tundra to a range of about 3°C to 12°C. In the winter, the lighting conditions are flipped. For example,…

The Taiga Biome A biome refers to the existent habitat in varied places identified through the existent mountain tops, deserts, tropical forests together with the existent climate in the area (Whitney, 2002). The taiga identifies the biome of the need leaf forest and remains characterized by cold weather leading to limited food supplies in the winter (Marietta, n.d.). Food shortages influence the development of a hibernation tendency among the majority of animals in the taiga during the winter…

Christiansen, Faye Dunaway, Frankie Faison and Robert Forrester. I believe this may be the most powerful movie I have ever written, and is going to stir up a lot of questions and transform a lot of hearts. I hope Hearties far and wide will see the film and let me know what they think. Any word on Touchdown on the Tundra? Touchdown on the Tundra is one of the most exciting true stories I have ever heard, and I’m thrilled to have the privilege of writing and producing, and we hope to go into…

The tundra has the coldest temperatures of all of the different types of biomes. The typical temperature in the tundra is about minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s very cold, but it gets even colder there in the winter! It’s actually very dry in the tundra as they receive about as much precipitation, or moisture, as the average desert, and it’s mostly in the form of snow. It’s also barren and treeless partly because it lacks the nutrients needed to support plants and animals. All year it has…

fact that there are merely 200 plant species in the tundra, Earth's coldest terrain. The tundra is not what most people believe it is, for reasons such as misinformation, disbelief (the tundra is that amazing) and many more. First of all, there is higher biological production in water than on land (and there is life in the tundra), and second of all, the tundra is the only biome to have permafrost. Third of all, the frigidness prevents most flora and fauna from surviving. The tundra is very…

Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the climate is cold and windy and rainfall is scant. Arctic tundra lands are snow-covered for much of the year, until summer brings a burst of wild flowers. The Arctic tundra, where the average temperature is 10 to 20 degrees fahrenheit (-12 to -6 degrees celsius), winter precipitation usually consists of dry snow while the summer growing season is just 50 to 60 days, when the sun shines 24 hours a…
