Why do mosses grow well in the Arctic tundra?

Biology
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
7 0

Te correct answer is that they do not have true roots.

The soil in the tundra is frozen to the surface most of the year and only the surface layer thaws in summer. The depth of the thaw will determine how far the roots of the plants will be able to deepen. That is why there are no trees in the tundra, since their roots cannot develop. Therefore, the mosses find their niche in these areas, since they do not have true roots, but rhizoids whose main function is the fixation to the substrate, and do not need more than a few millimeters deep for it. It is important to clarify that the vegetation in the tundra is of low height, squatted, since not only must they withstand low temperatures, but they must withstand strong blizzards. Mosses and lichens predominate in these areas.

How do aquatic factors affect the distribution of aquatic life (include both biotic and abiotic factors)?”
earnstyle [38]

(a) Aquatic ecosystems are rich in diversity. The life inside water is largely influenced by various abiotic factors. The abiotic factors are the chemical and physical components of an environment that affect the organisms living there. The primary abiotic factors that affect the life underwater are temperature, light and availability of oxygen.

(b) Oxygen available to the aquatic organisms is a detrimental factor. If less oxygen is available underwater aquatic animals will not be able to respire and die.

Light is also an important abiotic factor for underwater organisms especially for the aquatic plants. the aquatic plants underwater will not be able to make their food by photosynthesis if proper light is not available.

Temperature also plays an important role. Too low or too high temperature affects the metabolic activities of the organisms.

Depth of water body affects the availability of light and oxygen to the aquatic organisms. Shallow water bodies have light available to more aquatic organisms.

After watching the video on flooding, what would be a major change that can
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

Depends on what happened in that video. I would rewatch it and write about what the video said about flooding and relate it to the river. Could be an ice jam or something else slowing the flow of water suddenly opened up. A breaking dam? Flash floods from an abundance of rain. As the amount of water in the river increases, so does the flow rate. If the amount of water suddenly increases more than the river was used to/it could hold, it will flood.

Rewatch the video and see if this relates at all :)
