Why is the tundra so important to the world

# data[].attributes.body
In all likelihood your picturing a vast, frozen wasteland with snow everywhere and occasionally a polar bear. There is actually alot of life in the tundra that you realize, particularly during the summer when the long arctic days delivering a maniac growing season. That the tundra is home to a variety of plants and animals is reason enough to call the tundra important, but this region of the world has other characteristics vital to life as we know it

This picture shows a animal in it's tundra home

Abotic: non living things such as the sun , rain and temperature
Biotic: living things such as plants, animals, and bacteria.
An ecosystem is a community that has living and non-living things.

Symbiosis: a relationship between living and non- living organisms
Organisms:Organisms in a ecosystem are split into three categories,producers,consumers,and decomposers
Biomes: a large naturally occurring communitys of plants and animals (flora and fauna) Occuping a major habitat.

Tundras are located in the earths northern regions. The land in tundras are featureless. In the summer the tundras are filled with wetlands and bogs. Tundras cover 1/5 of the earths land surface. Also,melted snow doesn't drain because of permafrost.

The map below shows the tundras in light blue. As you can see they are located in the northern part of the world.

It is the coldest biome in the world, it has permanent snow and it has snow all year round in the summer wild flowers start to bloom, in the summer the temperatures vary to 37 degrees from 54 degrees.

The graph below shows...

The temperature is above 32 degrees for a month or longer. Cold temperatures and short summers are in the tundra. Moss, lichens, and grasses are found in tundras. Some tundras have permanent ice and snow. Cool summers break up a long winter. There are 3 types of tundras artic, Antarctic and alpine.Artic tundras are found in Russia, Alaska ,Canada ,Greenland, and Scandinavia. Antarctic tundras are only found in Antarctica. Alpine tundras can be seen on mountains all over the world. The word tundra means treeless plain

An example for a tundra food chain is:

Omnivore: snowy owl have small golden eyes, claws covered in feathers. They are mainly found in artic open and treeless spaces. They usually perch on the ground and wait for yummy food (Arctic foxes,lemmings, and other birds and fish ). Unlike other owls they are more active in the day.

Carnivores: The artic fox (a mammal) has short ears, beautiful flurry coat that helps it to keep warm and also camouflage in the snow or ice. They make borrows and tunnels in the snow for shelter.

Herbivores: Lemmings are small Mouse-like creatures. They have tiny claws to help them dig tunnels in the snow to sleep in. They are white during the winter, but their fur turns browny in the summer.

Producer: a lichen is a plant made up of fungus and green alag. They grow almost anywhere, on rocky coasts, mountain summits, icy regions, tropical forests, and even on trees, rocks and soil.

Abiotic and biotic factors in the tundra ecosystem

# data[].attributes.body
The tundra cold climate makes that abiotic and biotic factors different from other ecosystems.some of these biotics are low shrubs,crustose,foliose lichen,Arctic foxes,wolves,and polar bears.Some abiotics are soil,strong winds,rainfall,and temperature.

Animals such as geese, ducks fly from the to find mates. Butterflies and bees make homes in the tundra. Pests still live in tundras even though it's cold. During the last ice age megafauna animals roamed the tundras. Animals such as the Irish elk(7" 2m) and a cattle species called aurochs ( 2,200 lbs) and the dire wolf ( 5")

Some common plants in the tundra are bearberry, arctic moss, caribou moss, diamond leaf willow, Labrador tea, Pasque flower, and the tufted saxifrage.They are very important in the tundra ecosystem.

Food chain are Chains that are connected by producers,consumers,and decomposers.A food chain is a model that shows how a group of organisms are linked together in the order that they feed on each other.

There are three parts of a food Chain.Producers,Consumers,and Decomposers. Of the food chain there are different types of eaters.They are Carnivores,Herbivores, and Omnivores.

The tundra is one of the coldest biome there is. The word tundra comes from the word tundra. Which means treeless plain. This biome is known for its low temperatures.
