The Tundra Biome is located between 60-70 degrees north latitude and receives less than 25cm of annual precipitation, with summer temperatures ranging from 3-12 degrees C. It has a layer of permanent permafrost below ground and 24 hours of daylight in summer. Plants like short grasses, lichens and mosses have adapted to the short growing season and inability to penetrate the permafrost with deep roots, while animals such as arctic foxes, hares, owls and caribou have adapted to the harsh climate by growing slowly, reproducing less frequently to conserve energy, and migrating in winter.

2. Location The Tundra Biome is located between 60˚ and 70˚ north latitude.

3. Climate There is less than 25cm of precipitation annually. In the summer the temperatures are between 3˚C and 12˚C.

4. Physical Features Tundra biome always has a layer of permanent frost obviously called permafrost. There are 24 hours of daylight each day in the summer.

5. Plant adaptions. No trees grow here since the growing season is to short. Roots cannot penetrate the permafrost. Short grasses, lichens and mosse live here, some flowering plants and cloud berries can survive.

6. Animals adaptations Arctic foxes, hares, owls, caribou and polar bears Many tundra animals grow more slowly and reproduce less frequently therefore saving energy Many animals such as the caribou migrate in the winter for food
