  1. Arctic Tundra • Jonathan Giumi & Noah Alleyne Due date: Oct 15 2013 Teacher: M.Sicoli

  2. Where & What??? • The Arctic Tundra is found in across northern Alaska, Canada and Siberia. This biome has very long and freezing winters with very short and cool summers. The Arctic Tundra has a permafrost-ground, which basically means that it has no cracks, pores or vegetation because you cannot break the ground. The sun is rarely found during the winter because it always on its horizon and covered or blocked by a shadow.

  3. Animals • Herbivorous animals: Lemmings, voles caribou, arctic hares and squirrels. • Carnivorous animals: Arctic foxes, wolves and polar bears. • Migratory birds: Ravens, snow bunting, falcons, loons, sandpipers, snow birds, and various gulls. • Insects: Mosquitoes, flies, moths, grasshoppers, black flies and arctic bumble bees. • Fish: Cod, flatfish, salmon and trout.

  4. Animals Again The animals are adapted to handle long cold winters and breed to raise their children quick in the summer. Most of the animals in this biome hibernate during winter. The mammals that live in the tundra biome that are well adapted are: pikas, marmots, mountain goats, sheep and elk.

  5. Abiotic & Biotics Factors The Abiotic factors include: Water, mountains (big landscapes), and ice. The Biotic Factors include: Animals, grass, trees and nutrients.

  6. Endangered Species Some of the endangered species include: This is their geographical location. • Arctic Fox, Grizzly bear, Polar bears, Caribou and the Musk Ox.

  7. Attractions • The touristic attractions in the arctic tundra are dog sledding, wilderness viewing and northern lights viewing.

  8. What you will need to enjoy your stay • Jacket (heavy or light) • Warm Boots • Snow pants in the winter • Backpack with food and water • Camera for amazing views, animals and northern lights

  9. Weather Report • Arctic Tundra's have low precipitation (Less than 10 inches per year) and dry winds which make this biome look like a desert like landscape. During the summer it is covered by loads of water that then freezes to make the ground solid. At night time the temperature is always below freezing.

  10. Warnings • The only threat of this biome is that is a big space that you cannot grow trees for O2 and to take in the CO2 because the ground is really hard and frozen.

  11. Science involvement with threats • I think that scientist should make a warm under ground lair that has a sunroof so they can grow plants. Even though the ground is permafrost they can use big machines to penetrate the ground and cover big areas.

  12. Why is it important • The Arctic Tundrais important because shows a lot of nature and it shows the northern light’s.

  13. Enjoy your stay!!!
