2015 Tundra Biomes In the world there are about twelve biomes. The major biomes include deserts‚ forests‚ grasslands‚ tundra and several aquatic environments. A biome is large geographical area with special plants and animal groups and they are adapted to that type of environment. The Tundra biome is the coldest biome of the many biomes. It is separated into two types which are the arctic and alpine. The following information was gathered from a few websites which include Blue Planet Biome‚ National

Perez 11/23/10 6th The Tundra Biome Being the coldest and least filled with plant life‚ the tundra biome is noted as frost-molded landscapes with extreme temperatures. The tundra biome has low biotic diversity‚ low precipitation‚ and all around low‚ cold temperatures. The average temperature of the biome varies going from -25’C to 3’C between the months of January to July‚ then reverting from 3’C to -25’C between the months of July to December. Through those temperatures it causes a cycle of thawing

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes‚ Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia‚ meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes‚ extremely low temperatures‚ little precipitation‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons.A climate is a habitat around the world. The Tundra has snow everywhere and has very short growing seasons which means plants are hard to grow and farmers or whoever is planting crops need to plant early summer or fast enough before summer ends. The Tundra

By: J. L. March‚ 28‚ 2013 The Tundra Biome There are two types of tundra ecosystems: the arctic tundra and the alpine tundra. The tundra biome has several unique characteristics. The climate is very cold there is little diversity‚ and a "short season of growth and reproduction occurs" (1). The Finnish word tunturia‚ which means treeless plain‚ was the inspiration for the words tundra (4). The formation‚ plants‚ and animals that are associated with this biome have several attributes that make

Humans have a negative effect on the tundra biome. Some of the effects are overhunting‚ global warming‚ oil drilling‚ and pollution. When endangered species encounter these issues they die and eventually become extinct. An example of overhunting is how sailors overhunt musk oxen and caribou for their fur and body meat. The fur gets used for clothing and the sailors eat the body meat. The musk ox is nearly extinct due to overhunting. When you over hunt a whole species‚ that species may go completely

tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons The Tundra Biome is one of the most unique Biomes in the world. Covering one tenth of the earth’s land area it is a substantial Biome. Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi‚ meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes‚ extremely low temperatures‚ little precipitation‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons. Major problems With

How and why do the world’s biomes differ in their biomass production? The definition of biomass is the total quantity or weight of organisms in a given area or volume. Biomass can differ because of many things‚ including temperature‚ rainfall‚ location‚ and altitude. Tundra and Tropical Rainforest are two contrasting biomes‚ different in many ways. First of all‚ location. Tundra is located in the coldest parts of the world‚ like the most northern parts of America (i.e. Alaska)

The Tundra is the coldest and the rarest of all the biomes. The tundra contains many animals and plants that can be in the cold weather. The weather is about -30 degrees out there. Animals can survive out there because they have fur and fat to keep them warm. The plants live in the tundra because some plant can adapt there. The place where the tundra is located is the North Pole. The tundra is located at the top of the world‚ near the North Pole. It covers a fifth of the Earth’s surface . The

Did you know that the Arctic Tundra is one of the coldest but driest places on the Earth‚ but still supports life? I chose the Arctic Tundra as my biome because this is one of the most interesting places I have ever learned about. Animal Life There are only 48 land mammals that make this habitat their home. However‚ even though this zone has very few species the number of individuals in each species that make this biome a home for part of the year is very large. Take the massive herds of caribou
