In the Arctic tundra, many types producers, including flowering plants, low shrubs, sedges, grasses, mosses and algae, use the sunâs energy during the process of photosynthesis. Producers are then eaten by plant-eating primary consumers â- herbivores -- such as voles, caribou, arctic hares, musk oxen and squirrels. Some consumers are omnivores, which get their food from both plant and animal sources. These include grizzly bears, polar bears and ground squirrels.
Arctic Tundra Arctic tundra is found across northern Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. This biome has long cold winters and short cool summers. The Arctic tundra has low precipitation (less than 10 inches per year) and dry winds. These conditions make the Arctic tundra a desert-like climate (see climograph).
