Look at the following description of a broad global region and describe what the biome name and main biota would be and how you know: 40 centimeters (16 inches) of precipitation a year, seasons, frozen much of the year, high winds
What will be an ideal response?
This type of biome would be described as tundra. Because of the relatively low amount of precipitation in the area and cold temperatures (causing freezing through most of the year), the main producers that would be able to survive in this biome would be "low-growing sedges, dwarf shrubs, lichens, mosses, and grasses." Consumers would include "lemmings, arctic hares, arctic foxes, lynx, caribou, insects, and migrant shorebirds."
