The Tundra

By: Trevre Routhier

Location

• The areas labeled in orange are tundra biomes

Climate

• Harsh winters• Low temperatures• Little precipitation• Short summers

Vegetation

• There are few plant species in a tundra. Like shrubbery and other things like so:

• Arctic moss

• Cotton Grass

Soil

• The soil is not fertile and it is classified as permafrost which is made of frozen ground and dead plants

Animals

• Surprisingly even in the frigid temperatures there happens to be animals living in a tundra.

• Arctic Wolf

• Arctic fox

Animals (cont.)

• Ptarmigan

• Snowy Owl IT’S HEDWIG

Animals (yes more)

• Now lastly but not least we have some grass grazers

• Caribou I am not a REINDEER!

• Reindeer

Geography • A tundra is flat, mountainous, and treeless

THOSE ARE SHRUBS

Atmosphere

• With global warming heating up the Tundra new predatory animals are invading the tundra.

• This guy as cute as heseems, is contending with the arctic wolf forfood which is bad for both species.• Also global warming is melting away the permafrost

and because of the dead plants, guess what that releases? CO2
