Presentation transcript:

The Arctic National Wildlife Reserve is located in the Northeast corner of Alaska, bordering Canada  To the South is Brook Range  To the North is Arctic Ocean

Characteristics:  Little rain fall  Summers are short but days are long  Little Precipitation This type of ecosystem is also found near the North Pole and on mountain tops.

The little rain in the reserve can cause the climate to be dry. But the important factor of the reserve, the snow help keep the climate wet.

 Tundra  Cold frosted area  Layers of ice are formed on top of the soil

 Ranges from 36°F to 54°F in the summer  Average of 30°F in the winter

Because there are only a little precipitation the snow and wind is an important factor in the reserve.  Yearly precipitation is 15-25cm  The snow makes shelter for the animals

In the arctic national wildlife reserve there are many types of plants and animals. Plants:  Artic sedge  Alpine azalea  Labrador tea  Arctic willow  Cotton grass Animals: Arctic fox Least weasel Snowshoe hare Brown lemming Snowy owl

Grow along theThis plant hasSedges edges of the tundrashallow roots.are small swamps and bogs.and stunted.

Cotton grass is a cotton- looking type of grass, it grows like grass but it’s a sedge. Willows grow as small matted wood plants. This plant grows in great abundance in arctic regions.

The plumage change between summers and winters. The color of their feathers stay the same throughout the year.

The black flies feed on mammal blood. Mosquitoes may carry diseases. Bacteria break down dead organisms.

Not sociable Fight each other Live in wet tundra areas Browse at night Hide in thickets at daytime Each year a female produce 4-8 babies Hunt day and night Live in open tundra meadows and fields Feed on rodents

Depend on their sense of smell Dig a lot around their den Hunted by humans

Biotic (larger land animals) Travel in herds Migrate between summer and winter ranges Roam their territory In winter they semi hibernate Low metabolism rate

Agile and surefooted like goats Horns are to defend and ward off predators They wade into water to escape predators Tufts sharpen their hearing Thick fur allows it to hunt silently in the snow Snowy regions Do not hibernate They can travel to 30km in search of food

 Oil drilling can effect the plants and animals  It can also effect the natural beauty of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve  It can destroy the natural habitat for the animal To Solve the Problem: Human should stop oil drilling
