Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and mountains where the climate is cold, windy, and rainfall is low. During summer, tundras are covered in bursts of wildflowers after being covered in snow for much of the year. Mountain tundras support animals like mountain goats, sheep, marmots and birds that feed on low-lying plants and insects. Arctic tundras have an average temperature of -30 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit and support a variety of species including Arctic foxes, polar bears, gray wolves, caribou, snow geese and musk oxen during their short 50-60 day summer growing season when the sun shines up to 24 hours a

2. Introduction :-
Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found
in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains,
where the climate is cold and windy, and
rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are covered with
snow for much of the year, but summer brings
bursts of wildflowers.

3. Plants and Animals in Tundras :-
Mountain goats, sheep, marmots, and birds live in
mountain—or alpine—tundra and feed on the low-
lying plants and insects. Hardy flora like cushion
plants survive in the mountain zones by growing in
rock depressions, where it is warmer and they are
sheltered from the wind.

4. The Arctic tundra, where the average temperature
is -30 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-34 to -6 degrees
Celsius), supports a variety of animal species,
including Arctic foxes, polar bears, gray wolves,
caribou, snow geese, and musk oxen. The summer
growing season is just 50 to 60 days, when the sun
shines up to 24 hours a day.
