Life appears to have adapted to nearly all regions of the world. Darwin described this phenomenon as evolution. As a food source becomes available, organisms that can effectively utilise it become more successful. Equally when a habitat becomes crowded species that can live on the fringe of it can be successful. Although the subarctic may not be your first choice as somewhere to live, the animals and plants that live there are able to do so very effectively and are adapted to the conditions. If they tried to live in a warmer place, the creatures adapted to that environment would out compete them.

What plants live in subartic?

Plants that live in the subarctic region include willow, birch, poplar, and lichen. These plants have adapted to the cold and harsh conditions of the subarctic climate, with short growing seasons and low temperatures. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing food and habitat for wildlife.


What animals are in the marine west coast climate?

Animals commonly found in marine west coast climates include whales, seals, sea otters, puffins, and various species of fish and seabirds. These animals have adapted to the cool, moist conditions and abundant marine resources of this type of climate.


In which high latitude climate do temperatures rise above freezing?

The high latitude climate where temperatures rise above freezing is the tundra climate. This occurs during the short summer season, when temperatures can reach above 0°C (32°F) allowing for some melting of ice and snow.


What is subartic?

its very cold and sometimes moderate


What are the three largest climate regions?

Climate in a region can affect what plants and animals live there in three main ways; the first is temperature. Animals and plants each have a unique temperature range that they can exist in. For instance, the coldest regions of the planet have animals living there that can store fat as a buffer against the cold, or has animals that hibernate during the coldest parts. The second climate feature that affects what plants and animals live in a region is precipitation. Tropical plants need a great deal of moisture to survive, while cactus can survive with very little moisture. A third climate feature which dictates what animals and plants can live in a region is air movement. For instance, coastal regions are often very windy and only certain birds who are adapted for windy areas can live in coastal regions. Not all trees can withstand the high winds of coastal regions. Therefore, temperature, precipitation and air movement are three climactic features that affect what plants and animals live in a given region.
