A Biome is all of the life zones‚ all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well as the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its plant life‚ which is determined by its location. For example‚ northern coniferous forests exist in sub-arctic portions of North America and Asia‚ but further north‚ the conditions are simply too harsh and the season too brief for trees to grow. Instead of trees‚ the short vegetation of the tundra thrives in these areas. The same occurs

Tundra Climate (E) The tundra is a bleak and treeless place. It is cold through all months of the year Summer is a brief period of milder climates when the sun shines almost 24 hours a day. It has been called "the land of the midnight sun". But even the sun can’t warm the tundra much. 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

The climate is very cold there is little diversity‚ and a "short season of growth and reproduction occurs" (1). The Finnish word tunturia‚ which means treeless plain‚ was the inspiration for the words tundra (4). The formation‚ plants‚ and animals that are associated with this biome have several attributes that make them remarkable‚ and this biome is

The vegetation has adapted to survive in the desert biome by using several distinct features to prevent water loss‚ attacks from predators‚ and the harsh weather conditions. Many plants found in the desert are succulents‚ meaning that they have thick‚ large stems to hold and contain water. They also have
