- The plants that grow in the tundra biome often grow in clusters to help protect themselves from the severe winter winds
- There are two types of tundra - arctic tundra and alpine tundra.  The arctic tundra is located within the Arctic Circle while the alpine tundra is the area high in the mountains above trees]]> 2016-03-30 20:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/arianadbenavides/6kxjykunakfl/wish/103338853 arianadbenavides https://padlet.com/arianadbenavides/6kxjykunakfl/wish/103696709 Hairy stems keep the plants warm (pasque flower).
Plants grow close to the ground and grow close together helping them against the cold weather. 
The few trees (dwarf shrubs) that the tundra have are very small which reduces damage that is caused by the high winds snow also acts as an insulator to the trees and helps them maintain warmth during the winter.
Plants go dormant or are inactive during the winter months to with stand the cold and conserve energy, you could say its kindve there way of hibernating.

Ex: Lichens- fungus and algae.
