In conclusion the alpine tundra is a beautiful biome that we often take for granted. Most people have biomes like the ocean, the forest, the desert, and others fresh in there minds. This is why we fear so much for its future. Even though is is a lesser know biome is is still important to us in the water cycle and as a food source. This is why we should think about it.
First of all let us think of what we learned. the alpine tundra is a biome set up like many others. It is above the trees and below the snow. It is a home to flowers grasses and mosses. It houses animals like lemmings, sheep alpacas, and wolves. It has it's endangered species like the mountain lion our site is named for, and beautiful predator prey relationships. The alpine tundra is a truly graceful biome.
The future of the biome is yet undecided. Being in such an off beat desolate place the alpine tundra is usually untouched. This is why it has stayed pristine longer than the oceans and forests people like to live in and around. But as people move into this environment more and more pressure is put on the ecosystem. If things go the same way they are now going we predict that the mountain lion will go extinct, flooding from melting ice caps will further hurt the biome, Pollution will wipe out the wild flowers and bees, and over hunting may wipe out the rest of the animals. These predictions are why we should be aware of this beautiful place and protect it for generations to come.
