The Arctic poppy (Papaver radicatum) has several adaptations that enable it to thrive in the harsh conditions of the Arctic tundra. Its short stature and low growth form help it avoid strong winds and reduce moisture loss. The plant has thick, hairy leaves that provide insulation and minimize water loss, while its bright yellow flowers can absorb sunlight, aiding in photosynthesis during the short growing season. Additionally, the Arctic poppy's ability to germinate quickly and establish itself in nutrient-poor soils allows it to take advantage of the brief periods of warmth and sunlight.
