Alpine Tundra
Alpine tundra refers to a type of biome characterized by cold temperatures, high altitudes, and low-growing vegetation such as grasses, herbs, and shrubs. This ecosystem is found in mountainous regions around the world, typically above the tree line where conditions are too harsh for trees to grow. Alpine tundra is known for its rocky terrain, thin soil, and harsh weather conditions including strong winds and snowfall. Wildlife in this biome has adapted to survive in these extreme conditions, with species such as mountain goats, pika, and marmots being commonly found in alpine tundra environments.
