Question

The taiga biome has long, cold, dry winters and cool, wet summers. In three to four sentences, describe how the plants and animals would be impacted by a warm and dry summer and how they might survive. Support your answer with the abiotic factors in the biome.(4 points) (PS, please write it like a 6th grader)

If the taiga biome has a warm and dry summer, the plants and animals would be affected a lot. The plants might not get enough water and could dry out. This would make it hard for them to grow and make food through photosynthesis. The animals might find it hard to find enough food and water, because the plants are not growing well. They might have to travel far to find a better habitat or they might go into a kind of sleep called hibernation to save energy. The abiotic factors, like temperature and rainfall, are important for the plants and animals to survive in the taiga biome.
