From the Denali National Park website:

Tundra is simply the land above treeline. Treeline varies with latitude, existing at about 18,000' at the equator, about 10,000' in Colorado, about 2700' in Denali and drops to sea level in the vicinity of the Arctic Circle. Tundra comes in two basic forms: dry tundra, which is usually found on well-drained mountain slopes and ridges, and moist tundra which is damp to downright boggy. The word tundra comes from a Lapp word meaning "marshy plain."

almost as dry as the desert but very far north - extremely cold winters and cool summers. lichens, low vegetation, no trees. temperature and precipitation closely relate to each other in this biome. both low and in a similar trend - slight upsidedown 'u' Tundra refers generally to areas that do no support tree growth either because they are very near the north/south poles, or because of high elevations. You might hear people refer to the tundra as being 'above the tree line'; that is what they mean. The arctic and antarctic tundras are near the poles, and alpine tundra, tundra that exists because of elevation, happens in many parts of the world. Even the higher mountains of New England like Mount Washington, while humble by world mountain standards, is high enough so that trees do not grow at the summit.
