    Arctic tundra is a biome characterized by cold weather and low growing plants and shrubs and virtually no trees. They are found mainly in regions just below the Arctic ice caps, located at latitudes 55o to 70o North, across North America, Europe, Alaska, Canada and Siberia. They cover 20% of the earth’s surface. The summer season is short, where there are brief periods when the sun shines for almost 24 hours a day and temperatures never go above 45o or 50o F. In winter, temperatures don’t reach above 20o F and average between -20o to -30o F. Tundra biomes receive low levels of precipitation, around 150 to 250 mm of rain per year. Due to the harsh climate, vegetation such as low shrubs, sedges and reindeer mosses have adapted by growing close to the ground and close together, as this helps plants to resist the effects of cold weather and reduce damage caused by snow and ice. Plants are also small and roots are shallow to skim the thin unfrozen layer on top of the permafrost (a thick layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year. Permafrost is also the reason why there are virtually no trees in tundra biomes, as not enough moisture can percolate the soil). However, in the summer months the top part of the soil partially thaws, forming bogs and ponds, allowing some vegetation to grow.…

    The Rocky Mountains are located in the biome known as the alpine forest. The Rocky Mountains are a large mountain range that is located in western North America which runs more than 3,000 miles, from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States. Average January temperatures in the Rocky Mountains can range from -20 °F to 43 °F, with the average precipitation being between 10 to 60 inches per year. There are three main levels of vegetation in the Rocky Mountain vicinity, the montane, the subalpine, and the alpine levels. The type of vegetation that is able to grow in each surrounding area is based on the atmospheric conditions in the area, which are influenced by several factors including elevation, precipitation, and air pollution (Clow, & Mast 2003). Studies have shown that air pollution causes higher levels of nitrogen deposition in the Rocky Mountain region, which can be a challenge to the local plant community due to the already prevalent lack of variety in vegetation in this region (Burns, 2004). Based on this information, nitrogen deposition within the Rocky Mountains could be considered a stressor within the alpine biome.…

    As before mentioned, the climate in the Intermountain Region varies with elevation and location, in some parts it is cold and wet or dry and hot in winters. Going southward winters are lacking in precipitation and are dry and short. North, precipitation is also scarce but the climate is more moderate with dry, hot summers and moist winters. Also in the north, because the summers are shorter the growing season is shorter as well, which does not help the agriculture industry. As you go farther down the eastern slopes of the mountains, air retains moisture and warms up. The Intermountain…
