Biotopes/Habitats ? The Tundra
On Natures Talk Shows Habitats series Ken B. and Ken M. will be discussing the Tundra and some of the fascinating plants and animals that live there.
Tundras are among Earth?s coldest, harshest biomes. Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the climate is cold and windy and rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are snow-covered for much of the year, until summer brings a burst of wildflowers.
Mountain goats, sheep, marmots, and birds live in mountain, or alpine, tundra and feed on the low-lying plants and insects. Hardy flora like cushion plants survive on these mountain plains by growing in rock depressions where it is warmer and they are sheltered from the wind.
