Tundra is a biome where tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. This is a Arctic Tundra, occurs far in the Northern Hemisphere, north of the taiga belt. Polar bears adapt here, due to the cold temperatures, also helps them camoflage better. The cold weather can only support the growth of small plants, such as moss heath. Moss heath grows varieties like crowberry, blackberry and lichen, which is also food provided for polar bears to survive off of, as well as other arctic animals in there area. This is a place to share your learnings in Geography 12 with other students. You will be required to make at least one post each week. You will be evaluated on your posts so demonstrate geographic vocabulary, knowledge, and thinking. Take it seriously but have fun with it too!
