Coniferous trees dominate Boreal forests rather than tundra because of the lack of permanently frozen soil.
a lack of permanently frozen soil.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Boreal forests are characterized by a cold but not so cold weather. This means that it is too cold for the growth of deciduous trees. When it comes to the growth of tundra, the weather isn’t cold enough for the growth of tundra.
Tundra requires permafrost which is a permanently frozen layer of ground . The Boreal forests lack permafrost and thus isn’t suitable for the growth of tundra vegetation.
Answer& Explanation:
Angiosperm is more advanced due to the mechanism of protection it has since developed as opposed to its predecessor, gymnosperm. Angiosperms could be deemed the inventors of animal-mediated pollination or dispersal, whereas gymnosperms mostly depend on wind-mediated pollination (which is far more of a gamble than animal mediated).
1) Angiosperms seeds are enclosed in fruits, which increases the chances of dispersal by either wind, water, or animals. Animals can eat the fruit and disperse the seeds via feces or by brushing the fruit off of their fur coats new areas of the terrain.
2)The development of flowers. Flowers are especially important because depending on the flower it can attract a set species of animals in order for pollination to occur. That species of animal could only focus on those few flowers and would allow the female part of the flower to receive pollen (produced by the male part of the flower) from all over the place. This theory is also applicable to animal mediated fruit dispersal.
