Subalpine Cloud Forests 
These forests are characterized by their proximity
to the tree line and the presence of persistent cloud cover
...dense canopies Epiphytic plants such as mosses, lichens, and ferns Rich biodiversity of plant and animal species Unique
adaptations to cold and wet conditions Flora and Fauna Subalpine cloud forests are home to a variety of plant and animal species that have adapted to the challenging conditions
...temperatures and high moisture
levels Alpine Rhododendron Produces bright flowers to attract pollinators in
low light conditions Subalpine Fir Develops thick bark to protect against snow and ice The animal species that inhabit subalpine cloud forests are
...
Seasonal Tundras A seasonal tundra is a type of biome characterized by cold temperatures,
low precipitation, and a short growing season
...Seasonal tundras are home
to a variety of plant and animal species that have adapted to survive in these harsh conditions
...Short growing season: Due to the cold temperatures and low
light levels, seasonal tundras have a short growing season, typically lasting only a few months
...Common plant species found in seasonal tundras include: Plant Species
Adaptations Arctic Moss Low-growing and able to photosynthesize at low temperatures
...
Tundra Soil unique type of soil found in the tundra biome, which is characterized by its cold temperatures, short growing seasons, and
low vegetation cover
...soil plays a crucial role in the functioning of tundra ecosystems and supports a variety of plant and animal life adapted
to its harsh conditions
...Plant
Adaptations to Tundra Soil Plants in the tundra biome have evolved various adaptations to survive in the nutrient-poor soil conditions
...Shallow root systems to access nutrients in the top layer of soil Ability to photosynthesize at low temperatures and low
light levels Formation of dense mats to retain heat and protect against wind Production of antifreeze compounds to survive freezing temperatures Role of Tundra Soil in Carbon
...
Cloudforest Unique Flora Types In the lush and diverse ecosystem of cloudforests, a variety of unique flora types thrive, adapting
to the cool, misty conditions of these high-altitude forests
...Cloudforests are characterized by their high
levels of moisture and persistent cloud cover, creating a habitat that supports a rich array of plant species
...Epiphytes have evolved unique
adaptations to thrive in the canopy of cloudforests, where they can access sunlight and moisture without competing with other plants on the forest floor
...One of the most fascinating aspects of mosses and lichens is their ability to thrive in the
low-
light conditions of cloudforests
...
Mixed Forest Gaps When a mature tree falls or is uprooted, it creates a gap in the canopy, allowing sunlight
to penetrate the forest floor
...Table 1: Examples of Plant Species Found in Mixed Forest Gaps Plant Species
Adaptations Oxalis acetosella
Low-
light tolerance, rapid growth Maianthemum canadense Spread by rhizomes, shade-tolerant Rubus allegheniensis Thorned stems,
...The varied light
levels, soil conditions, and microclimatic factors in and around the gaps support a wide range of plant and animal species with diverse ecological requirements
...
Climate Effects Temperature The most defining characteristic of the tundra climate is its
low temperatures
...In the summer, temperatures can rise slightly, but the growing season is still short due
to the lingering cold
...However, the low precipitation
levels also mean that water is scarce in the tundra, limiting the growth of plants and the availability of resources for animals
...Plant Species
Adaptations Mosses Grow close to the ground to conserve heat Lichens Can survive in extreme cold and low
light conditions Grasses Have shallow roots to access nutrients in the thin soil Shrubs Grow low to the
...
Tropical Forest Canopies Many species are specialized to life in the canopy, with unique
adaptations for navigating the complex vertical environment
...characteristics of tropical forest canopies, their importance in biodiversity and ecosystem services, and the challenges they face due
to human activities
...canopy creates a series of microclimates that differ from the forest floor, with variations in temperature, humidity, and
light levels ...
Lowlands Forest Diverse Flora The
lowlands forest is a unique biome that is characterized by its diverse flora, making it a vital ecosystem for a wide range of plant and animal species
...Flora The flora of the lowlands forest is incredibly diverse, with a wide variety of plant species that have adapted
to thrive in this unique environment
...canopy, the understory of the lowlands forest is home to a diverse array of plants that have adapted to thrive in the lower
light levels ...These plants often have unique
adaptations that allow them to thrive in this aerial environment
