Vegetation and Production Ecology of an Alaskan Arctic Tundra
This volume on botanical research in tundra represents the culmination of four years of intensive and integrated field research centered at Barrow, Alaska. The volume summarizes the most significant results and interpretations of the pri mary producer projects conducted in the U.S. IBP Tundra Biome Program (1970-1974). Original data reports are available from the authors and can serve as detailed references for interested tundra researchers. Also, the results of most projects have been published in numerous papers in various journals. The introduction provides a brief overview of other ecosystem components. The main body presents the results in three general sections. The summary chapter is an attempt to integrate ideas and information from the previous papers as well as extant literature. In addition, this chapter focuses attention on pro cesses of primary production which should receive increased emphasis. Although this book will not answer all immediate questions, it hopefully will enhance future understanding of the tundra, particularly as we have studied it in Northern Alaska.

Through simple text and color photos, readers will learn about the difference between the arctic and alpine tundra, which plants and animals live there, and how they have been able to adapt and thrive in the frozen tundra. In a follow-up activity, readers will utilize a graphic organizer to share their research on tundra wildlife and the adaptations that enable them to live in this harsh but beautiful biome.

What Is the Tundra?
The tundra is the most remote and least inhabited biome on Earth. Few people get to see these remote and foreboding landscapes. Readers will learn what can live in these harsh environments and why such an unwelcoming place is essential to all life on Earth. Vibrant color photographs help students get a complete picture of the tundra. "Compare and Contrast" and "Think About It" boxes allow readers to put what they have learned to use and expand that knowledge.
