Arctic Tundra Research Paper

Improved Essays
The biome that I picked was the Arctic Tundra. The animal from Arctic Tundra I picked is the polar bear. Female polar bears would rather build their den in old snow,( like from a few years ago.)

The polar bear is found in Canada , the U.S (Alaska), Greenland, Russia Norway (the Svalbard archipelago), and Arctic Tundra. The Arctic Tundra climate/weather averages to -30°F. In January it is the coldest weather in Arctic Tundra. It’s about -40°F, in January it has reached -93°F before. Most of the year Arctic Tundra is covered with snow, until summer brings wildflowers to burst. Pretty much where the polar bear is located there is weather average to -30. I think polar bears like that weather?

There are biotic factor and abiotic factors in Arctic

    The extremely low climate and low biodiversity are the most known. Most of the energy and nutrients found in tundra are in the form of dead organic matter. The arctic tundra is found in the northern hemisphere, but much of it extends south. The tundra can be looked at as a type of cold desert. The growing season mostly ranges between 50 to 60 days, which is a relatively short…

    The mean winter temperature is -34° C. The arctic tundra is able to support life because in the summer the mean temperature is 3-12° C. The arctic tundra can have fewer amounts of precipitation than large numbers of deserts even though the arctic tundra’s land is moist or wet with plentiful ponds and lakes. This is because of the low temperatures in the arctic tundra. The low amount of evaporation adds to the creation of…

    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 day. The highest temperature is 50 degrees. The nitrogen cycle in the Arctic tundra is when animals produce waste and the soil uses this nitrogen.…

    Arctic Controversy

    • 3759 Words
    • 16 Pages

    Since the split up of the Soviet Union in the early 90's, Russia has been fighting to claim back many of its old territories in Asia, Europe and the Far North. The world has seen this in March's annexation of Crimea, and multiple invasions of Ukraine and Georgia in the last two years. What the world hasn't seen, however, is the military movements that Russia has kept under wraps since: the militarization and potential annexation of Arctic seas and lands. These claims and occupations of UN proclaimed “neutral” arctic territories have not gone unnoticed, or unmatched, by other world powers; countries with Arctic borders such as Canada and the USA have been slowly getting involved over the last ten years. Whether they are entering the dispute…

    The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is a national wildlife refuge in northeastern Alaska and is the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the United States. Created by Congress in 1980 with the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), this area is at the center of both economic and environmental controversy as it holds potential for the production of both oil and natural gas. The ANILCA’s most controversial piece was the decision to defer drilling and petroleum exploration in the coastal plain region of ANWR known as the 1002 area (Figure 1). Petroleum is a valuable economic resource that is used in everyday life from the generation of electricity to fueling transportation to making plastic and synthetic goods. Yet despite modern society’s reliance on petroleum, we are using this finite resource faster than it can be replenished and at the cost of damaging the environment and inducing anthropogenic warming of the Earth’s climate.…

    Geoscientist have recently brought an end to a once mind boggling mystery of how large lakes that sit above the Greenland ice sheet drain billions of gallons of water in hours! The Greenland ice sheet extends about 656,000 miles covering most of the island. As ice melts it creates huge lake but these massive lakes are soon empty of water; where does it go? “In 2006, Greenland's North Lake, a 2.2 square-mile (5.6 square kilometers) supraglacial meltwater lake, drained almost 12 billion gallons of water in less than two hours” reports Livescience. Where does all this water go?…

    Arctic Council Case Study

    Crossroads of the Arctic Council? When the Arctic Council was established in 1996 it was designed to bring together the states bordering the Arctic Ocean on issues related to environmental protection and sustainability. The organization does not address military issues in the region, which allows it to be one of the few international organizations in which both the U.S. and Russia will cooperate. However, I argue that there will be a change in the progression of this council in the next few years as the ocean continues to melt and ships are better able to access the region.…
