Tundra Biodiversity Plant species: Arctic tundra wild flowers, Alaska lichen, Polytrichum moss, ect.. Animal species: reindeer and caribou ect..

Tundra Adaptations Needed for Survival Plant: low growing due to lack of nutrience, being close to grown helps plants from freezing some plants clump together to keep from freezing Animals: animals adapt by burrowing underground and having thick fur that turns white in the winter

Tundra Interactions of Biotic and Abiotic Biotic: Reindeer wrestle, birds tweet, bunnies in their burrow, honey bees dancing in their hives. Abiotic: animal breathing air, animals drinking water, a snake under a rock,
