Answer 2

Artic moss has adapted well to its cold climate. When it is not growing, it stores nutrients so new leaves can be made quickly next spring. The more leaves the more they can photosynthesize. It is adapted to the incredibly strong winds because it grows near to the ground. Because it can grow under water it is protected from the drying winds and cold, dry air of the frozen tundra. Its long life and slow growth are probably adaptations to the short growing season and the cold.

In the arctic, moss covers the ground and warms it up allowing other plants to grow. It is eaten by migrating animals such as birds. Some type of arctic moss was frozen for thousands of years and is helping scientists learn about life on our planet.

Answer 3

The arctic willow adapts to cold and harsh environments by growing low to the ground to minimize exposure to wind and conserve heat. It also has small, narrow leaves to reduce water loss and a compact growth form to withstand snow accumulation. Additionally, its shallow root system helps it access nutrients in the nutrient-poor arctic soils.

Answer 4

It has adapted to the permafrost by growing shallow roots.

Answer 5

Even though there is allot of permafrost in the tundra, the Arctic Moss still survives because it grows under water.

Answer 6

Plants must grow low to the ground and close together.

Answer 7

it needs water and warm weather for its leaves to survive.

Answer 8

It has adapted to the permafrost by growing shallow roots.
