TUNDRA The Tundra is the coldest of all the Biomes and being situated in the extreme north of the planet has desert like conditions. It has extremely low temperatures‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons. There is a very low precipitation of less than five inches a year which is coupled with strong‚ dry winds. There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of

Rainforests provide a home to many species of plants‚ both known and unknown. Our dependencies on tropical plants are vast ranging from the daily essentials of food and shelter‚ to cures for cancer and possibly AIDS. As destruction of the rainforest continues‚ the effects on plants are immense through the loss of genetic diversity and the disappearance of species. Plant species
