➩There are thousands of species of plants in the Arctic tundra. The plants tend to be small and close to the ground. This protects them from strong winds and cold temperatures. Some plants that grow in the tundra include short shrubs, sedges, grasses, flowers, birch trees and willow trees.
➩ Tundra plants are small -- usually less than a foot high -- for four reasons. ... The plants' short statures help them absorb heat from the dark soil, which helps keep them from freezing. Smaller plants are more protected from cold and winds. Roots also are short and grow sideways, as they cannot penetrate the permafrost.
