Obviously, due to the tundra's harsh climate and temperatures, the biome isn't home to many plants. Well, except for the small, pathetic little shrubs and bushes you first see. However, it may seem like that at first, but it isn't true. Under the snow and shrubs lie many different lichens, mosses, and fungi, and in the shade of the few trees in the tundra lie beautiful flowers. Here are some examples of plants in the tundra:

HUMAN IMPACT
Humans are probably the most interesting and complex species alive on Earth, but sometimes, we can be the absolute worst. An example of this can be the tundra. Many of our actions affect the animals living in the tundra, and thousands of these precious animals are being killed in the process! One thing we do is mine...
BIOLOGY
Although the tundra might not be the ideal environment for humans, it is still home to many different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Much of which still haven't been discovered. This section discusses some of the animals and plants you may find in this biome, along with their respective adaptations that allow them to live here.
