The Tundra Biome is a very plain area. It mainly consists of grassy, flat plains, and maybe a few bushes here and there. This place cannot support trees mainly because of its cold climate and harsh growing conditions. There is a scarce amount of physical diversity as these areas are mainly flat with a few mountainous regions. If you were to put it in simpler terms, it could easy be classified as a cold, icy desert.
The tundra is a biome that has extreme temperatures and is a plain area. This place cannot support trees because of its extreme conditions. There are three different types of tundras; Arctic tundra, the Antarctic tundra, and the alpine tundra. These tundras have simple vegetation structure and short seasons. The Arctic and Antarctic tundra have a dark and cold winter. The alpine tundra has warmer seasons.
Humans have influenced the tundra in a bad way by littering. The ice caps melt because people use too much fuel which warms the ice and melts it. In the tundra, tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons.
