One of the plants that have adapted to the arctic tundra is the moss. Its long life and slow growth allows it to live in the cold weather. It also covers the ground to keep it warm  to allow more growth. One of the animals that have adapted to the tundra is the yak. Its enlarged heart and lungs allow it to breath cold air. Its thick fur allows it to stay warm in near freezing climates.

The biome description is the climate is very low and cold temperatures. The Tundra receives very little rainfall. The soil contains very little rainfall. They also have short growing seasons.

The climate of the tundra is extremely cold during winter and warm but still cool in the summer. During the summer the climate doesn't get above 50*F

The latitude of the tundra is 60*N. The altitude of the Arctic Tundra is 300 to 11079 feet above elevation. The altitude affects the climate because the higher you up in altitude the colder it gets. the insolation of the tundra is it becomes hotter in the summer because the land receives more sunlight during the summer.

Producers-  lichen , Grasses , Arctic wildflower.  1000%
Primary consumer- Arctic hare , Lemming , Musk Ox , Caribou  100%
Secondary consumer - Hawk and Polar, wolf. 10%
The more the organisms the less the consumers get of energy from the producers

The tundra is changing because the world is heating up and causing it to melt. Air pollution is cause from black carbon from diesel engines and fires that settle on the snow which allows it to not reflect light and it melts faster. Invasive and migratory species are moving to compete with each other for food and territory.

Musk ox-  They use their hooves to dig through snow to find the plants. Their long shaggy hair allows them to stand frigid temperatures.
Polar Bear- Their white fur allows them to be camouflaged to the snow and ice. Thick layer of fat and fur allows them to stay warm

Grasses - They can grow under a layer of snow. Allows it to carry out photosynthesis in cold temperatures. Allows flowers to produce quickly in spring.
Arctic willow -  Likes to live in dry and cold temperatures. Prefers cold climates
