Tundra is a cold, treeless region with a short growing season and a layer of permafrost, or permanently frozen subsoil. Arctic tundra occurs in the Arctic region; alpine tundra is found in high mountains scattered all over the world. The temperatures are generally a little higher and the growing season longer in alpine than arctic tundra, and there are some different species of plants and animals. However, both types of tundra still have a layer of permafrost. See Tundra by Peter Moore (Chelsea House, 2006).

The arctic tundra is different from the alpine tundra because it has .?
The Arctic tundra is characterized by its flat, treeless landscape and permafrost layer, which remains frozen year-round, while the alpine tundra is found at high elevations in mountainous regions and lacks permafrost. Additionally, the Arctic tundra experiences a colder climate with longer winters and shorter growing seasons compared to the alpine tundra, which can have a more varied climate and biodiversity due to its elevation. These differences influence the types of vegetation and wildlife found in each environment.
Does the alpine tundra have permafrost?
The Alpine Tundra lacks permafrost, and generally has better soil than the Arctic Tundra.
