How do humans affect the tundra biome?
Three (of many) anthropogenic causes of Tundra decline are Climate Change, Overfishing/Hunting, and Development. I'm sure you are aware of climate change and the effects on temperature. Leads to invasive species and the spread of new habitat while reducing actual tundra habitat. Overfishing and hunting obviously wreak havoc on the ecosystem. Development is a more complicated one. If you run an oil pipeline down the middle of Alaska, and build a bunch of access roads all over the place, then you fracture the natural landscape. This fracturing reduces the habitat into several smaller ones, and species are often cut off from each other. This inhibits their breeding ability and what not. Add to the last one that plant regeneration in tundra is extremely slow. If you drive a car over a part of the tundra, the tracks can remain there for months, even years! This probably has the most immediate effect on the biome itself (and climate change/greenhouse gasses, etc), but they are all related.

Are there any blueberry bushes in the Tundra Biome?
Yes, Blueberries are found in the tundra biome. These Blueberries are much different, however, than that of the taiga or deciduous forest. This subspecies's fruit are single-lobed and navy blue just like that of any other blueberry. On the contrary, these berries are harder, half the size, and much more flavorful. These are edible as well as widely consumed by wildlife such as the Arctic Fox. Other common berries of the tundra biome are salmonberries (a relative of the blackberry) and redberries (the version of cranberries that do not live in a bog).
Is it mostly the climate conditions in an area that determine its biome or not?
Rainfall and climate determine a biome, in addition to other factors such as topography.
How much water is there in taiga?
there is some precipitation (12-33 inches) some melting snow. other than this, the average annual rainfall is very little. the taiga biome is right under the tundra biome, so its not a big surprise that the taiga biome is harsh...
What are other names for the Savanna Biome?
These are the Biomes: * Temperate Deciduous Forest * Desert * Tundra * Rain Forest * Grasslands (Savanna and Prairie) * Taiga, Boreal, Coniferous Forest ( They are all kinda the same things, look up images of them, and then you will understand) * Aquatic Biomes ( Marine, Fresh Water, and Estuary) * Those are the Biomes names * (:
Is Antarctica is Tundra biome?
Generally, Antarctica is too cold for tundra, except in the Antarctic peninsula where you can find Antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica) and Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis). You may find other tundra dwellers on sub- Antarctic islands.

What other category can be in the desert biome?
Some classify tundra as desert. I feel that, while they are similar in some respects, they should be in a distinct biome of their own and not classified as deserts.
