Why Tundra
Symbiosis: Mutualism: In the tundra
biome the lichen appears moss-like,
but it actually represents a symbiotic
relationship between a fungus and an
algae. The fungus is "fed" sugars by
the photosynthetic alga and the alga
receives protection from the fungus.
Tundra vegetation: (aka: producers)
The Habitat includes of plants that can
withstand cold and strong and harsh
winds, the plants are a pretty wide
variety such as:

The Climate:
The climate is cold, long winters and
lots of snow. The short summer lasts
only 6 to 10 weeks. It never gets any
warmer than 45 or 50° F. The
warmer weather causes a layer of
permafrost, ice that never goes away
in the ground, to melt, creating bogs
and shallow lakes that don't drain.
Tundra Facts:

Food Web
Adaptions:
The ermines adapt to the harsh
tundra by digging holes and
stuffing it with grass and food they
sleep to conserve energy. They are
also scavengers if they need to be.

The artic fox hunts well in the snow
because he is a carnivore, by making
noises at the top to get the prey
hiding under the snow to come out
and he pounces on them.


The word tundra comes from
the Finnish word tunturia
which means treeless land.
And a very small population of
biotic factors.
Most animals feed off of
decomposers animals because
food is sometimes hard to
find.
The tundra biome covers
about 20% of the Earth.
