Where does a plant live longer in the tundra or deciduous forest?

A plant typically lives longer in a deciduous forest compared to the tundra. The deciduous forest provides more favorable conditions for plant growth, such as milder temperatures, higher precipitation levels, and more nutrients in the soil, allowing plants to thrive and live longer. In contrast, the harsh environmental conditions of the tundra, such as extreme cold, permafrost, and limited sunlight, make it challenging for plants to survive and thrive for extended periods.
