Leaves of tundra plants have adapted to the frigid temperatures there over the years. For example, the plants have grown smaller leaves and have grown closer to the ground, in order to "huddle" together and maintain as much warmth as possible.

How do tundra plants adapt in tundra?
Plants have their own ways of adapting to their enviornment in different biomes. Over time, plants get used to their enviornment and develop characteristics to help them survive. Plants in deserts have adapted to store water and stand extreme heat. Some rainforest plants have adapted to letting rain water run off their leaves. Plants in the tundra have adapted to extreme cold and not mutch rain. Arctic rhododendrons have waxy leaves to prevent water loss. Lichen grow on rocks because of the lack of soil and trees to grow on. Pasque flowers grow in the tundra and have lots of fine, silky strands of hair to provide insulation and keep them warm. Another plant with this adaptation is bearberry, which uses the hairs as protection from the wind. Arctic poppies have cup shaped petals to absorb energy from the sun better. Their petals point towards the sun. Most tundra plants grow close to the ground where weather is calmer and warmer.
