Abiotic Factors for An Arctic Tundra
Characteristics of the arctic tundra
biome:
·
Cold climate, snow, rainfall.
Small biotic diversity
Plain vegetation
structure
Short season of growth and
reproduction
Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic
material
Snow-capped peaks, where not many things
grow.
Snow covered ground
Many ground/short growing plants near the
ground.
Sunshine, the sun is present 12 hours a day in summer seasons and
is never really hot.
No trees, tundra is a treeless plain where plants live near/close
to the ground
Photosynthesis, used by plants to produce food, takes in carbon
dioxide and to put out oxygen for organisms to
breath.
Abiotic Factors of an Arctic Tundra
biome:
The abiotic factors of tundra are usually strong winds, rainfall, there is very
little each year but the soil is sustained well enough for plants to grow, short
summer days and not that hot, no trees, photosynthesis and long and cold winters
with permafrost layers of soil. The average winter temperature is
-34° in the arctic tundra and in summer is usually 3-12°.
In summer the arctic tundra includes sunshine, which is essential for plants to
survive. Oil leaks and drilling, can pollute soil and wash soil away from stable
ground. This causes the death of plants, maybe extinction and pollutes water
supplies of biotic factors of the Arctic tundra. Photosynthesis: photosynthesis
is a very important abiotic factor in many biomes. As we all know photosynthesis
produces oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide, this obviously is a good thing
because it produces oxygen that allows us and organisms to grow and breath. It
takes in carbon dioxide that we breathe out and takes the waste in the air.
Tundra’s are treeless plains, which can decline photosynthesis, because trees
also are a big part in photosynthesis as well as plants, they all produce
photosynthesis.
The Result of a Knock Out Effect of Abiotic
Factors:
If an abiotic factor would be knocked out of a tundra biome, then several animals and plants would still be alive such as: the Woolly Mammoth, which died of climate change, strong winds and temperatures, same as the Woolly Rhinoceros. These animals would still be alive if Climate change and temperatures were knocked out of the tundra biome. Oil leakage can also be a problem for pollution of water, which is an essential source of food for species. Animals of the Arctic Tundra are prepared for cold winters, for
example: the Musk Oxen, who have their woolly coat of fur/wool to keep them warm
and cosy for the bitterly cold winters. The Polar Bear is protected from the
harsh winds and snow with its blubber and cuddles up with its young cubs to keep
each other warm and help each other survive.
