Other informations
The Northern canada tundra is very cold and dry due to its location. Northern Canada is very far from the equator getting not much sunshine and warmth. Northern canada is about 4,153.11 miles away from the equator. Northern canada has short summers and long winters. the winter period can last up to 11 months.This is aso why there are not much animals. Because of its harsh climate that is why animals have harder time to find food and stay warm. It is also harder to Camouflage because there is not much trees. Northern Canada's rainfall is maximum 15 inches per year. The temperature of the northern canada is more extreme. The average summer temperature is -1.5ºCto -2ºC and in winters the temperature is -32ºC.
Northern canada has 61% humidity and can get up to 80%.
Northern Canada's rainfall is maximum 15 inches per year.
Human life
The northern canada takes up 40% of canada but has only 1% of the whole canada population. The population of northern canada is only 118,160. The main reason that there is not much people in the northern canada is because it has low temperatures and little daylight. "Canada's Northern Arctic Ecozone is among the least populated areas of the world. "(Ecological Framework of Canada,N.D) Life in the north of canada is not ready. there are limited jobs and most things are expensive due to the shipping that is needed.
Plants
The northern Canada tundra has not much trees but small short plants. The temperature and wind is strong that is why there are not much vegetation.The main plants that live there are sedge, dwarf heath, shrubs, mosses and lichens
Biotic: The biotic omnivores that live in the northern canada tundra is threatening the plants. The omnivores that live in the northern canada tundra included Lemmings, voles, caribou, arctic hares, and squirrels
"Lemmings, voles, caribou, arctic hares, and squirrels are some animals that put these plants in danger. However, these plants are still growing because of their capability to carry out photosynthesis in low temperatures."(zoologist,2012)
Ecosystem
Abiotic: The CO2 released by humans is causing huge threats to Biotic living thing. The CO2 traps warmth and makes the earth more warm when this happens the temperature will rise. In fact Canada creased by roughly 1.7 °C from 1948 to 2016.When this happens animals and plants that live in the northern canada tundra will slowly die of uness it adapts to new temperatures which takes a long time and come to a cost.
The secondary consumers include arctic fox and snowy owl.Both of these animals blend with the white snow.
The primary consumers include caribou arctic hare muskox fish. these animals have weaker bodies and rely on the primary producers to survive.
The Primary Producers include Lichen Moss Grass Flower and any other plants.
Apex predators: The apex predator that live in the northern Canada tundra is polar bears. But this apex predator is near to extinction caused by climate change and global warming. Wolfs are also predator they have fur that camouflage. Not only that wolf work in pack using more than one brain when hunting.
These animals coexist together that is way the is a balanced ecosystem.
The arctic fox has short body parts than any other fox types.This is due to there adaption. The arctic fox needs to adapt to cold temperatures. If the arctic fox loses most of its body heat it will die. But if they have less surface area less body heat will be lost.
The arctic Fox has also more fur on its body. Most animals in the northern tundra hibrate but arctic foxes don't. They have thick fur that can keep them warm enough during winters. Some of arctic foxes still hybrate but arctic foxes had to survive the the cold temperature so there bodys produced more fur and that is why they do not need to hibernate.
When arctic fox are in extreme danger they can dig very faste underground to hide.
It also rolled into a ball when i extreme temperatures to reduce surface area and reducing the heat loss percentage.
The arctic foxes fur can also change its color during the seasons.In winter its fur is white and in sumer its fur is brown. They change colors to camouflage. In winters there is a lot of snow and most things are white. If there fur is also white they can blend into the environment to be safe. They can not only protect themselves but have a higher chance to hunt without being seen.
