The Planet: Kai
This is the planet I am going to go to.in this world, the only biome that is there is the boreal forest biome, alsoknown as the taiga. The day length of this planet is 26 hours and the number of daysin a year is 366. I chose this planet becausethey have similar characteristics according to day length and year length. It will not affect the animals I am bringing with me that much, to start an ecosystem. In this area, the insects are the major decomposers.
Characteristics: 1. temperature rangesfrom -54 to 30 degrees Celcius
2. Very little sunlight
3. Soil doesn’t containmany nutrients
4. Many lakes

and
The Mountain Pine Beetle lays its eggs in the pine, and also releases toxins that can weakenthe trees who are preparing for the harsh winter. If they are weakened, the chances of dyingIn the winter are much higher.

Spruce Cone Worm Spruce Tree
The Spruce Cone Worm helps the tree by pollinating the tree, and therefore it alsogets food.
