Analyse the role of climate on the plants and animal life in the Tundra region.
Answers
Explanation:
The effects of climate change on tundra regions have received extensive attention from scientists as well as policy makers and the public. This attention partly stems from the tundra’s high sensitivity to the general trend of global warming. While the average global surface-air temperature has risen by approximately 0.9 °C (about 1.5 °F) since 1900, average surface air temperatures in the Arctic have risen by 3.5 °C (5.3 °F) over the same period. Many parts of the region have experienced several consecutive years of record-breaking winter warmth since the late 20th century. In some locations, this record-breaking winter warmth has been unprecedented; three-month winter mean temperatures in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago in 2016 were 8–11 °C (14.4–19.8 °F) higher than the 1961–90 average. Most climatologists agree that this warming trend will continue, and some models predict that high-latitude land areas will be 7–8 °C (12.6–14.4 °F) warmer by the end of the 21st century than they were in the 1950s.
Global warming has already produced detectable changes in Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems. These ecosystems are being invaded by tree species migrating northward from the forest belt, and coastal areas are being affected by rising sea levels.
Answer:
In the tundra region it is extremely cold. Due to cold it has a type of vegetation called tundra vegetation.
In winter all the plants die and animals migrate to other place. The whole region become dark, deserted and desolated.
In summer it is also cold but it is little warm. In summer lichens and multi colored plants grow. They bear fruits, berries. Many animals come to feed on them
