The Arctic is not a barren, frigid landscape filled with only ice and
snow. It is a complex ecosystem that contains many thriving habitats,
each supported by dozens of ecological relationships between plants and
animals.
From the many animals that live and hunt at the floe edge, to the
hundreds of insects that abound on the summer tundra, this book gives a
detailed bird's-eye view of the fascinating ways that animals, plants,
and insects co-exist in the Arctic ecosystem.
Written by Mia Pelletier, a biologist and wilderness field researcher,
and complete with a glossary to clearly explain biological terms to
young readers, this book provides a sound informational basis to
understanding the Arctic ecosystem in all its facets.
