Arctic Tundra Food Web
The sun is the main source of energy, it gives off energy to the plants you see in the picture. The animals after the plants are herbivores they eat plants, so that is where herbivores get their energy.The animals after the herbivores are the carnivores, and the carnivores only eat meat. If we took the plants out of the ecosystem the Arctic Hare, Lemming, Musk Ox, and Caribou,would have nothing to eat so they would not make it through the winter, and most of the animals that eat the plants will die.Then the Carnivores would have to feed on other thing like mice they would not have much to eat and they will not make it through the winter either. A lot of things can change if we take the plants out of the Arctic Tundra ecosystem, so everything in the Arctic Tundra is very important!!
