What animals live in Canadian woods?

Tundra is described as an area where levels of subsoil beneath the surface of the earth are permanently frozen. This soil is referred to as permafrost. The level of earth above the permafrost will thaw in the short summer allowing plants to grow. This level will then freeze again in the winter and most of the plants will go dormant. The permafrost makes it difficult or impossible for trees to root down into the ground, so one of the characteristics of tundra is that it is often treeless and the land appears barren. Another characteristic of tundra is that it, like deserts, receives little precipitation. Tundra will also reach extremely frigid temperatures, especially in the winter when it receives little to no sunlight. Tundra has two variations, Arctic Tundra and Alpine Tundra. Arctic Tundra can be found near or north of the Arctic circle around the north pole.* Alpine Tundra can be found at various latitudes on earth but is located at high altitudes on mountains where trees do not grow. Animals that live in the tundra have special adaptations that allow them to survive the extreme temperatures and conditions that are present in a tundra. A good example of an animal with special adaptations is the Arctic Fox. The Arctic Fox has short ears and a short, round body with a thick coat to minimize the amount of skin exposed to the frigid air. There is a low amount of biodiversity in the tundra so fluctuations in one animal population will effect populations in another. An example of this would be that if in a certain year there is a lower amount of Lemmings than usual, then the population of Snowy Owls, who feed mostly on Lemmings, will also decrease. There are several threats to the populations of animals that live in the tundra. Mining and oil drilling are increasing habitat loss, as well as human habitations moving farther north. Global warming could be one of the largest threats to this ecosystem. As global warming melts more of the permafrost soil the very delicate balance of plant and animal life in the tundra is threatened. answer here...

How does the tundra rose survive in the tundra?

Tundra roses usually grow on hillsides to avoid the harsh winds that the tundra often brings. During the winter they go into a hibernation period- just like trees. Then in the spring they begin to grow leaves and eventually they bloom in the summer. In most tundra climates the summer has sunlight for 16 hours a day. This allows most tundra plants to thrive and take in the energy they need to survive through the winter. There are many bees and butterflies on the tundra that help pollinate the roses.

How do plants adapt in the arctic tundra?

Reindeer Moss, like other lichens, does not have any roots. It has the ability to absorb moisture and nutrients from the air through cells on its surface. However, this adaptation makes reindeer moss very susceptible to pollutants in the environment. Like other types of lichen, reindeer moss is a good indicator of environmental quality because of its high absorption from the surrounding air.
