Other than the taiga biome, what type of biome covers the rest of the state of Alaska?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your saying the taiga biome is part of alaska?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Temperate grassland/desert?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you want the biome that is the other part of alaska

OpenStudy (anonymous):

desert because the arctic is also considered a desert ( a cold one)

thomaster (thomaster):

It's actually called the Tundra biome :D

thomaster (thomaster):

but you're right its a cold desert :D

i have a question: when you post images like that you press the attach file button right?

thomaster (thomaster):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

thomaster (thomaster):

and consider everything above the taiga belt a tundra area. For alaska, the west coast is also tundra

thomaster (thomaster):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, the tundra biome would be the answer?

thomaster (thomaster):

yea, you can see that when you look at your map. the center-east part of alaska is taiga/boreal and the rest is colored cyan (which is tundra in the legend)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thomaster, you're very smart. My new best friend as well. \(\Huge\color{purple}{\ddot\smile }\)

thomaster (thomaster):

haha thanks :) by the way you have a lot of questions about biomes xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know lol all apart of Alaska also cx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Next I have to explain the climate in the northern part of taiga, and the climate in the southern part of taiga.

thomaster (thomaster):

That would probably be a mix between tundra and taiga in the north and a mix of taiga and temperate grassland/forest in the south. In the north it would be colder less trees. These trees are mostly gymnosperms (trees with needles). In the south of a taiga region it would most likely be a little warmer. Also you would find more angiosperms (trees with leaves).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I swear you're a genius..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You deserve another medal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@help123please. give him a medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thom sounded like an encyclopedia.

thomaster (thomaster):

haha i know a LOT about biology xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It seems so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks thom! :D
