What are you likely to find in an alpine tundra?
The alpine tundra is in the mountains on the eastern hemisphere. It is usually cold, snowy, and windy there. The alpine tundra lies at the altitude of 10,000 feet right below the snow line of the mountains. To get to the biome you would have to hike through the forest biome, grassland biome, steppe biome, and the taiga biome. Summer usually lasts from June to September at about 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. In the winter it goes from October to May in below freezing temperatures. Since the alpine tundra is so high the oxygen is very little so the tree population is very small. In the arctic tundra the soil is hard and unusable but in the alpine tundra the soil is softer. The result of this is that there are more plants. Most of the plants there are perennials witch means they grow back every year. The most popular animals to be sited in the alpine tundra are mountain goats, chinchillas, woodland caribou, and pica.

What type of biome might you find at the top of a mountain?
It depends on how high the mountain is. If the mountain was about 6,000 metres then you would find continuous snow at the top of the mountain. If the mountains was about 4000 metres then you might find Alpine grasslands or alpine savannah. This might be different depending on the location of the mountain
What kind if trees are in the tundra biome?

Where on the map is the tundra found?
Tundras and Ice SheetsArctic and alpine tundras are areas where trees grow sparsely due to a short growing season, low precipitation, strong winds, and in the case of alpine tundras, high altitude. Tundras are often found near permanent ice sheets where, during summer, the ice and snow recede to expose the ground and allow vegetation to grow.
