Which biome is characterized by low temperatures, permafrost, and a lack of trees?
Show answer
Tundra
The tundra is one of the coldest and harshest biomes on Earth. Because the ground stays frozen year-round (permafrost), deep root systems cannot grow, limiting the vegetation to mosses and small shrubs.
