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, the Taiga.
In a warm and dry summer in the Taiga biome, plants and animals would face several challenges. The lack of water availability would result in decreased plant growth, making it difficult for herbivores to find food. Many plants might wither and die due to the lack of moisture. Animals could adapt by seeking out alternative water sources such as rivers or underground springs, while herbivores might have to migrate to areas with more abundant vegetation. Some animals may also enter a state of hibernation or torpor to conserve energy until conditions improve in order to survive through the summer.
