Three Carnivores In The Tundra Arctic Wolf Snowy Owl Dunlin

Herbivore Adaptations

Caribou Adaptations Caribou Caribou eat a variety of plants They inhabit forest. They also migrate a lot.

Musk Ox Adaptations Musk Ox Hooves are capable of breaking ice so they can get water. Thick fur keeps them warm. Very good eyes, can see in dark and daylight. Horns scare off predators.

Arctic Hare Adaptations Claws good for hard packed snow Feet are thickly packed with fur Coat grows larger and thicker for the Winter They are very difficult to spot in the snow. They form large groups They guard each other

Omnivore Adaptations

Grizzly Bear Adaptations They hibernate during the winter They hunt at rapids

Polar Bears Adaptations Pads to protect their feet Good traction on ice Fur keeps them warm while swimming in cold Shakes free water or ice after swimming No water can enter their ears Helps conserve body warmth

Arctic Foxes Adaptations Hard to see in snow Thick coat of fur for winter

Carnivores Adaptations

Arctic Wolf Adaptations Powerful legs to run long distances Claws to grip ice, tear, rip, and flesh. Very good sense of smell makes it easier to hunt Fur protects them from cold They have camouflage for hunting.

Snowy Owl Adaptations Snowy Owl Their wings provide heat Claws to catch prey Camouflage in winter

Dunlin Adaptations Dunlin Dunlin's eat a variety of food

Food Chain

Food Chain

Decomposer

Decomposer Decomposer the caribou moss One role it does is it can be eaten by caribou or reindeer, and they go a long time without water so they can be eaten. Another role it plays is, that it has carbohydrates to keep warm. With out that caribou and reindeer would die and that would ruin the food chain.

Abiotic and Biotic Factors

Factors Biotic and Abiotic factors Biotic mosses to feed on in the winter Shrubs, and grasses as well as moss and a variety of lichens are some of the many living organisms in the Tundea. These organisms contain good nutrients which are vital for any environment. The Primary consumers eat these plants to stay alive. Abiotic Oxygen and carbon dioxide help living organisms to stay alive in the Arctic regions. Ice is the most common property in the Arctic region. It is extremely cold but the Arctic wolf is designed to survive the harsh conditions.

The Tundra By: Owen O.

Meteorologist

Description On Weather, etc In the Tundra the average yearly precipitation including the melting snow is 15 to 25 centimeters The average winter temperature is -34 degrees Farinheight The Average summer temperature is -30 to 50 degrees Farinheight The Tundra is the coldest of all biomes http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/tundra.htm

Description on Weather, etc It has extremely cold temperatures and it has very low precipitation Air pressure is caused by the combined weight of the column of air directly above a point on the earth Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in air. All air contains at least some water vapor In the Tundra the sun barely rises and it is really dark out

Description on Weather, etc http://www.commondreams.org/views/2013/09/03/why-global-warming

Weather Patterns In the Tundra the weather patterns are that the usual weather is around -20 to -30 degrees (In the winter) The weather is so cold because in the Tundra the sun barely rises and it is very dark when it does not rise Some more weather patterns are around 10 degrees Celsius (In the Summer)

How do The weather patterns impact the environment and organisms in it The Arctic Tundra is changing dramatically due to global warming The permafrost is contributing to global warming With global warming, the fall freeze comes later and more of the permafrost is melting in the Tundra In much of the Tundra it is frozen all year round Estimates suggest that the Earth’s carbon is tied up in the permafrost

Plant type in Arctic Tundra low shrubs sedges

Plant type reindeer mosses liverworts grasses

Plant type In Alpine Tundra the plants are Tussock grasses dwarf trees Pasque Flower

Plant type small-leafed shrubs and heaths

Tundra Arctic Tundra and Alpine Tundra are not that different arctic is just a little colder.

Adaptations The plants have adapted to the wind blowing hard and soil messing up. The plants are short and are next to each other to resist low temperatures and are protected by the snow. Photosynthesis is brought out at low temperatures. They do not have a lot of sun light because the sun does not come out until later in the day.

Adaptations The roots could not go deep, so there are only plants that have small roots, that is way small plants are there.

Climate In winter, it is a average of -34 degrees Celsius and in the summer it is 3 to 12 degrees Celsius
