What type of birds live in ever green forests?
If you mean the evergreen forests of Northern Europe, Asia and North America, then there are many.
In Europe, Crossbills and Grosbeaks eat the seeds of conifer cones. Capercaillies display in the clearings of the trees. Ospreys nest in the trees and hunt fish in the lakes and rivers. Crested tits try to avoid sparrowhawks and goshawks. In fact, there are numerous species that exist almost only in evergreen forests.
Other contributors may be able to give you similar answers for Northern Asia and North America. The evergreen forests of New Zealand are particularly fascinating as they have no native mammals and birds exist in wonderous diversity. Birds like the kiwi and kakapo could not exist anywhere else in the world.

What is the difference between an Arctic tundra and an Alpine tundra?
The arctic is the region of the world that has at least one 24 hour period per year that the sun does not rise and at least one 24 hour period per year where the sun does not go down. This is known as the arctic circle. As such, the arctic tundra is tundra located within the arctic region. Alpine is that area of the planet that is above the tree line. The tree line is determined by how cold a region gets. I believe that in order for trees to grow, the temperature must not dip below a certain temperature. Hence you will notice the tree line (or Alpine) level differs depending upon the variant temperatures in a particular region. In short, the colder the area, the lower the tree line. In the final analysis, the difference between the two types of tundra is a matter of location. Simplified, basically the alpine tundra is in the mountains and the arctic tundra is like the snowy icy place that we see on TV and think about mostly.
How much rainfall does Toronto receive yearly?

Another Answer
Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet, and the soil under the ice is not available for anything tundra-like, to grow.
Tundra is defined by the occurrence of "vegetation of mosses, lichens, herbs, and dwarf shrubs" -- and there is no such area on Antarctica. The Antarctic peninsula is home to two forms of grass that grow on the exposed western side of a few areas. The Sub-Antarctic Islands may hold a few areas of tunda-like soil, but there is no tundra on the Antarctic continent.

What crops grow in the Arctic Circle?
There is little agriculture in the Actic due to the cold temperatures and very short growing season. Indigenous plants provide forage for hares, caribou, and musk ox, and there are a few dwarf shrubs and flowers. In the coldest regions, this is limited to mosses and lichens.
How much rain falls in a rain forest each year?
How much rain forest does a rain forest get each year... Well, I would say that a rain forest can't really get any rain forests in a year, but Tropical rain forests get about 200-600 cm of rain each year, and Temperate Rain forests get 200-400 cm of rain each year.
What impacts have humans had on estuaries and coastal wetlands?
The human impact on wetlands is that people make all sorts of fun things that will ac tract tourists. For example a golf course. Then the golf course needs to move the wetland to get more space. Then animals and all sorts of organisms die.
When beavers build dams or lodges, people destroy them so they could make cities and buildings. Then that beavers loses his habitat
What country in Europe has a tundra?
Mostly the northern part, in countries like Russia, Sweden, Norway and Denmark as well as Iceland.
The arctic tundra is in the north of Greenland but the south of the north pole. It is very cold there and if you are not prepared you could died in 20 mins. You have to wear mittens not gloves because your fingers will fall off otherwise
Is the taiga located below the tundra in north America Europe Asia?
Yes, the taiga, also known as boreal forest, is located south of the tundra in North America, Europe, and Asia. The tundra typically exists in the northernmost regions, characterized by cold temperatures and permafrost, while the taiga features coniferous forests and a slightly milder climate. This transitional zone between the tundra and temperate forests is crucial for biodiversity and ecological balance.
What is the ecosystem of a eucalyptus tree?
As there are over 600 species of eucalyptus trees, it stands to reason that they can be found in a wide variety of habitats, depending on the particular species. Eucalyptus trees are found in bushland, grasslands, alpine slopes, deserts, wetlands, beaches, inner city and suburbia, and even rainforests.
