For tundra plants and animals, survival is not just about battling the harsh environment of this biome, but is equally about being a part of its complex food web.
Tundra biome animals food chain. Arctic hares are then consumed by arctic foxes. In the tundra there are berries. Biology lessons science biology teaching biology science lessons science education science activities life science science and nature science classroom.
Food web and chain some factors that effect population growth is the harsh environment of the tundra, theres not enough food for large populations, and the amount of predators. Caribou moss is eaten by caribou , and lichens are eaten by lemmings and arctic hares. Sedges, grasses, dwarf shrubs, wildflowers, mosses, and lichens tertiary consumers energy level 0% arctic wolves and polar bears the arctic food chain starts with producers, or organisms that make their own energy.
