The northernmost biome known for having little precipitation, a short growing season, and permafrost is the tundra.
The tundra biome is characterized by its extremely cold climate, low biodiversity, and simple vegetation structure. The ground is often frozen, a condition known as permafrost, which limits the growth of deep-rooted plants. The short growing season and minimal precipitation make it a challenging environment for most forms of life. Despite these harsh conditions, the tundra is home to a variety of specially adapted plants and animals.
