Question

Write a short note on tundra type of vegetation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tundra regions are lands which are extremely cold, covered with frosts and devoid of trees. Deserts in the polar regions of Antarctica, Greenland and parts of North America are examples of Tundra regions.  There are two types of Tundra regions in the world i.e. Arctic Tundra and Alpine Tundra. The arctic tundra is mainly located around the North Pole while the alpine tundra can be found in the mountainous regions.  The vegetation in these regions is sparse and treeless limited to mosses, lichens and very small shrubs. Seals, walruses, musk-oxen, arctic owls, polar bears and snow foxes are form of wildlife found here. These animals have a thick fur and skin which protects them from the acute cold.
