Tundra

Tundra is a biome where tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. This is a Arctic Tundra, occurs far in the Northern Hemisphere, north of the taiga belt. Polar bears adapt here, due to the cold temperatures, also helps them camoflage better. The cold weather can only support the growth of small plants, such as moss heath. Moss heath grows varieties like crowberry, blackberry and lichen, which is also food provided for polar bears to survive off of, as well as other arctic animals in there area.
