  1. A cold treeless biome!


  2. In physical geography, tundra is an area where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons.  In tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree line or timberline. The word "tundra" usually refers only to the areas where the subsoil is permafrost, or permanently frozen soil.
