Biome: Alpine-Tundra

The Alpine biome is almost polar so they are very cold and get to 12 degrees celcius in the summer and -40 degrees celcius. These ecosystems are found in Canada, China, parts of South America and Russia.

The plants are the

* Alpine Phacelia

* Bear Grass

* Bristlecone Pine

* Moss Campion

* Polylepis Forest

* Pygmy Bitterroot

* Wild Potato

Elk, marmots, mountain goats, pikas, sheep, grouse-like birds, beetles, butterflies, grasshoppers, and springtails, Polar bear, snow Leopard, Alpaca, andean condor, Chinchilla, Llama, Caribou, Moose, Voles, and Hares.

Producers: Grasses and Caribou Mosses

Carnivores: Polar Bears and Arctic Wolves

Herbivores: Caribou and Lemmings

Omnivores: Arctic Fox and Brown Bears

Decomposer: Bacteria and Fungi

Ilija and Roy's Presentation on the Alpine Biome!

Who are the consumers, predators, decomposers?

The decomposers are Bacteria, which are the prime decomposers throughout the world, whic may be found in the apline tundra. Mosses, lichen, and fungi are also active decomposers but things take a long time to decompose in the tundra because there is only a short window of temperatures warm enough to allow activity. The predators are wolves, foxes, coyotes, occational bears, people and up north polar bears. The consumers in the Alpine Tundra are voles, pikas, moose, and hares.
