Enlarge Image Tundra Taiga A biome is large regional area of similar communities characterized by a dominant plant type and vegetative structure. Traditionally, biomes have been used to describe large geographical regions such as deserts, grasslands, forests, and tundras. The tundra occurs between the taiga and the permanently frozen polar regions while the taiga zone occupies a wide belt between the tundra and the temperate forests on the American and Eurasian continents. The plant and animal populations vary in these two biomes. 1) Review the images of the two biomes, the tundra and the taiga. Notice that while there are about 1,700 kinds of plants there are virtually no tree species in the tundra. What are the limiting factors in preventing the immigration of tree species into the tundra? ALL BUT ONE could apply. -)) A) rocky, poor soil B) C) very short growing season the presence of permafrost D) winters are six months long 2) The taiga is the most extensive biome, stretching west across North America and east to Asia. The snowshoe rabbit is a common species found in the taiga biome. Over the last several decades, the average annual temperature of this area has increased, and the long-term deposits of ice and snow have become scarce. How will these abiotic factors impact the snowshoe rabbit population over time?

Over the last several decades, the average annual temperature of this area has increased, and the long-term deposits of ice and snow have become scarce. How will these abiotic factors impact the snowshoe rabbit population over time? A) The population will increase due to an increase in food sources. B) No longer camouflaged, the population will decline due to death by predation. C) The population decrease due to an increased heat rate because of a warming climate. D) The population will remain stable; white rabbits will emigrate and gray rabbits will immigrate.
