The tundra is a cold, treeless area; it is the coldest biome. The tundra is characterized by very low temperatures, very little precipitation (rain or snow), a short growing season, few nutrients, and low biological diversity. The word tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, which means "treeless plain."

Biome: Polar Tundra - English
URL: http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/msese/earthsysflr/tundra.html

The polar tundra consists of frozen lands. Little vegetation grows on the thin soils of the tundra. Permafrost, or frozen ground, is common in much of this region. Large portions of tundra can be found across northern Canada and Siberia in Asia. This is the land of the Eskimo and Laplander. It is the summer range for the reindeer, moose, and elk. This land has long winters and summers (midnight sun). Agriculture is impossible except in greenhouses.
