SYMBOITIC RELATIONSHIPS

OF THE TUNDRA
3.

MUTUALISM

  • The main example of mutualism in the tundra is lichen
  • Lichen is mix of algae,and fungus
  • These two parts of the lichen depend on each other by..
  • The fungus depending on food from the algae when it preforms photosynthesis
  • And the algae depends on the fungus to protect it.
4.

COMMENSALISM

  • The main example of commensalism is presented by the Caribou and the Artic Fox
  • The artic fox depends on the caribou because the caribou removes the layers of snow....
  • To look for lichens and the fox looks for any animals under the snow.
5.

PARASITISM

  • Parasitism in the tundras is mainly caused by liver tapeworms
  • The liver tapeworms in the tundra are mostly found in the moose and the caribou.
  • The tapeworms feed off the liver of the animals it infects.

TUNDRA BIOME ANIMAL

THE ARTIC FOX

  • The common name is Artic Fox
  • Its scientific name is Vulpes lagopus
  • The artic foxes adaptations are that its fur changes white during the winter to camouflage itself from its prey
  • Its other adaptations are that its fur gets thicker during the winter to keep it warm.
  • The Artic Fox reproduces sexually and it is also a mammal so its children are not born from eggs.
8.

THE ARTIC FOX CONTINUED

  • The artic foxes last adaptation is that It curls up in the snow and they covers Its nose and face....
  • With its bushy tail to keep it warm from the harsh temperatures.
  • The foxes habitat is a dug burrow in the ground,cliff,or a river bank.
  • The Artic Foxes natural predators are polar bears,wolves,and humans.

10.

LICHEN

  • Lichen's common name is Lichen
  • Lichen's scientific name is Flavoparmelia caperata
  • Lichen's adaptations are that they can surrvive extremes of moisture and temperature
  • The lichen reproduces asexually and reproduce through spores
  • The Lichens habitat is usually found in artic and antarctic areas which are found in the northern hemisphere.
11.

LICHENS CONTINUED

  • Lichens are found on trees and other plants in the tundra.
  • There natural predators are deer.

SOIL DEVELOPMENT

  • The first layer of the tundras soil the active layer is were most of the plants in the tundra are located...
  • This layer also is home to many insects that burrow underground.
  • There is not much plant life in the tundra because of the the permafrost is the frozen part of the subsoil but it does..
  • Melt in the spring but the permafrost is still a permanent layer in the tundra biome.
  • The last layer of the tundra soil is the soil itself the soil is the most nutrient rich part of the tundra but it is located at the bottom of all the other layers.
