Permafrost is a major feature of the tundra biome.In physical geography, tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons.

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.
