    the answer is for abiotic-Strong Winds
    little precipitaion (rainfall)
    short summer days
    very long and cold winters
    poor soil
    permafrost-a layer of permanently frozen subsoilfor biotic-Plants like Heaths and mosses have to adapt to the very long and cold winters because the sun does not come up in the winter
    Wildlife like arctic tundra animals include snowy owls, reindeer, polar bears, white foxes, lemmings, arctic hares, wolverines, caribou, migrating birds, mosquitoes, and black flies.

    the animals in that place got tick/thick fur and feathers to keep them warm.

    They change fur color each season
