The biome that occurs around the Arctic Circle is the tundra. Characterized by its cold temperatures, short growing seasons, and permafrost, the tundra supports a limited variety of vegetation, primarily mosses, lichens, and low shrubs. Wildlife in this biome includes species adapted to harsh conditions, such as polar bears, arctic foxes, and migratory birds. The tundra plays a crucial role in Earth's climate regulation and carbon storage.

What is the parallel latitude that circumscribes the polar tundra zone Tropic of Cancer Arctic Circle or Antarctic Circle?
The parallel latitude that circumscribes the polar tundra zone is the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere and the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Hemisphere. These latitudes mark the boundaries of the tundra biome, characterized by cold temperatures and a lack of trees due to permafrost.
Where is the tiaga forest?
The taiga forest are mostly the forests of the arctic circle. The ever green forests of Canada and Siberia are examples of this biome.
Is the Arctic fox in the taiga?
Yes, the Arctic fox is one of the animals in the tundra biome
What is the parallel of latitude that circumscribes the polar tundra zone?
The parallel of latitude that circumscribes the polar tundra zone is the Arctic Circle in the northern hemisphere and the Antarctic Circle in the southern hemisphere. These circles mark the boundary where the tundra biome transitions into the polar ice caps.

What is the latitude of a deciduous forest biome?
It might be more adequate to say latitudes of temperate zones, which the north zone lies between Cancer Tropic (23.5ºN) and Arctic Circle (aprox 66.5ºN) and the south zone between Capricorn Tropic (23.5ºS) and Antarctic Circle (aprox 66.5ºS). In regards to vegetation see the wikipedia weblink below.
Is the Arctic desert the coldest biome?
There is no 'Arctic Desert.' The Arctic is primarily sea ice with some land areas of tundra. While tundra shares some characterisitcs with the desert, it is a different biome. Antarctica, however, is true desert and the coldest biome on earth.
