Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-moulded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. (from: http://www.admwebstudios.co.uk/Biodiversity4.htm)

tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The term tundracomes from Kildin Sami tūndâr, which means "uplands, treeless mountain tract."[1] There are three types of tundra: Arctic tundra,[2] alpine tundra,[2] and antarctic tundra[3] In tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree line or timberline.
