Located in the Arctic, alpine regions, and Antarctic islands, this harsh biome is characterized by a short growing season, long, cold winters, and vegetation dominated by grasses, mosses, and lichens. Despite the challenging conditions, species such as reindeer, Arctic foxes, and various migratory birds call the tundra home. This biome is particularly vulnerable to climate change, with warming temperatures threatening its permafrost and unique biodiversity.
