There are several different tundra types, These include: Arctic tundra (found mostly within northern Alaska and Canada, and have a climate similar to that of a desert) Alpine tundra (usually found in high altitudes, and are too cold and windy to support tree growth) Antarctic tundra (very si...
Although further investigations are required to determine the degree to which these findings are generalizable across the tundra biome, our results indicate that consistency and caution in the choice of plant parts are a key consideration for the success of future dendroclimatological studies on shrubs...
The variation in bacterial community structures was visualized with a nonmetric multidimensional scale (NMDS) plot based on Bray–Curtis distance. Bacterial communities in paddy soils were clearly differentiated from those in the other types of soil (Fig.1A). Bacterial communities in greenhouse soils ...
Tundra ecosystems are found in the Arctic and Antarctic – the Polar Regions. The vegetation in Tundra ecosystems is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grass, mosses and lichens. The subsoil is permanently frozen, which makes it impossible for trees to grow in the region. The tundra is co...
The alpine tundra in the western slope of the Changbai Mountain has two main plant types: herbaceous peren- nials and low woody shrubs. Native and invasive species may differently affect soil environments. The rhizosphere usually contains a diverse microbial community44,45 which is directly ...
Fig. 1: The dominant precursor group of global wildfires. The causal analysis was performed on 29 climate zones and 8 vegetation types (232 ecoregions in total) with a 0.05 significance level. a The sum of squares of the partial correlation coefficients of all 10 precursors to wildfires per ...
They are extensively found inCanada, United States, Benthic, Arctic coastal, tundra, Norway, Scotland, Alaska, and Kamchatka. These types of ducks eatmussels, molluscs, polychaete worms, and crustaceans. In winter season, these birds can form a flock of100,000 birds. ...
What are some of the biotic and abiotic phenomena that exist in the tundra? What are all the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic factors with which they interact, one or more communities, and the physical environment around them c...
