This beginner's guide to tundras explores the unique attributes of this cold habitat, showcasing its beauty and plant and animal diversity. Author and educator Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what tundras are, what kinds of animals and plants live there, and how certain species have adapted to the unique environment. The book covers the characteristics of Arctic, Antarctic, and alpine tundras. John Sill's detailed, realistic paintings reflect the beauty and diversity of the habitat. A glossary and afterword provide more detail for further exploration. Ideal for early childhood and elementary education units on biomes and environments, geography, habitats, and nature.

Tundra habitats are some of the harshest places on Earth. They exist in the Northern Hemisphere north of the Arctic Circle and on mountains at high altitude. But all the plants and animals that live in tundra habitats are highly adapted to living there. People have lived in tundra habitats for thousands of years. However, human activity threatens the future of these important places. Using short facts and full-color photographs, this book introduces readers to the vast diversity of tundra habitats around the world and the measures we need to take to preserve them.

This fun and fact-filled book introduces kids to the diverse habitats of the world. It clearly and simply explains what a habitat is and offers interesting information about key world habitats, such as deserts, oceans, and wetlands.

This text presents the tundra plovers, comprising of the grey plover and the Eurasian, Pacific, and American golden plovers. Breeding on tundra or northern heaths and moorland, they migrate far south to coastal mudflats, saltings and agricultural landscapes. The text examines the taxonomy, appearance, behaviour, ecology and conservation of golden and grey plovers, and compares and contrasts their natural history and biogeography. It also gives accounts on all aspects of their lifestyle including feeding, mating, parental care, moults, migration and avoidance of predators.

What would happen if the frozen Arctic completely melted? Certain plants and animals rely on the dry and cold tundra environments. The tundra biome includes both the flat regions of the Arctic and the alpine heights of the mountains. This biome holds a source of food and a climate suitable for the plants and animals that live there. Learn about the geography and resources of the tundra biome as well as how animals and people have adapted to and impacted tundra environments. Explore this biome's future and what people can do to help keep it safe.

Presents an overview of the tundra habitat - past, present, and future. This book describes qualities of life, such as slow-growing dwarf trees and animals exhibiting large bodies and small ears, and discusses in the context of adaptation and survival strategy. It explores the history and prehistory of tundra.

This account of the life of the tundra provides a fascinating insight into the ways in which animals, plants and climate interact in an inhospitable environment.

This book provides an integrated account of the biological, climatic and anthropological factors that affect the entire circum-polar tundra-taiga biome.

As students read A Day in an Ecosystem, they will journey through the world's driest, coldest, and wildest places. Readers will learn how plants and animals depend on one another and on their environment for survival, and understand the different dangers that threaten these important ecosystems and what is being done to save them. This book explains, what happens throughout a 24-hour cycle of a day, maps, fact sheets and a plant and animal populations list. This book explains key scientific terms and phrases, includes procedures for scientific observation while the text presents information sequentially.

Discusses the tundra biome and the many endangered species that live there, including wild yaks, Siberian cranes, and Siberian marmots.

"This report describes the ecological systems of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A) at a level sufficient to provide a basis for broad management and land use decisions."--P. 1.

Distribution, abundance, and use of wetland habitats by migratory birds were studied at 2 interior and 3 outer Arctic Coastal Plain sites in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska in 1977 and 1978.

Details the ecology and wildlife of the continents, oceans, and poles, and includes up-to-date conservation and preservation data and the human impact on the world's ecosystems.
