What is the vegetation in the Arctic Circle?

The vegetation in the Arctic Circle is typically limited to tundra plants such as mosses, lichens, grasses, and small shrubs. Trees are scarce due to the harsh climate conditions such as cold temperatures, permafrost, and a short growing season. Adaptations like shallow root systems and the ability to photosynthesize at low temperatures are common among plants in this region.


What land is near the Arctic Circle has no trees growing on it very little vegetation grows on it and the soil is permanently frozen?

The answer is the Tundra. See below....Iris INTRODUCTION The Arctic is a very cold place in the most northern part of the world. It begins at the North Pole and ends at the Arctic Circle ( an imaginary line on maps). In Canada's north, parts of the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut are in the Arctic.(see map ) THE LANDtundra means "barren land" In the southern part of the Arctic you will see plains (flat land) and small rounded hills. There are many lakes and rivers. In the northern part of the Arctic there are mountains, glaciers (mountains of ice ), plains and islands. The sea ice stays frozen all year. If you travel from the south, the farther north you go, the smaller the trees become and the farther apart the trees grow. Where the trees end, the tundra begins. Trees do not grow on the tundra because it is too cold. The ground is frozen. There is little water and not enough light in the winter time, Only a thin layer of soil (permafrost) melts in the spring .


Why is there little vegetation on the ground level of the coniferous forest?

There is little vegetation because only deciduous trees lose their leaves. Leaves decompose and bring nitrogen compounds into the soil and vegetation appears. Coniferous trees do NOT lose their leaves. Therefore if you were to compare the two, vegetation would happen in the deciduous forest.
