What Vegetation Grows In The Tundra. Vegetation in the Tundra can grow there because they are specially adapted to their environment. They live in the tundras surface soil rocks and stones. Along with hair and small leaves many plants of the tundra grow in small dense clumps. Tussock grasses dwarf trees small-leafed shrubs and heaths.
These are also known as pioneer species. The tundra is characterised by a total lack of trees and has instead stubby vegetation that grows very slowly. Just like penguins huddling together the clumping of plants help them stay warmer together. The trees that do manage to grow stay close to the ground so they are insulated by snow during the cold winters. The stem rises about 2-8 inches off the ground. Is a leathery green.
Even they grow in water.
Many species have the ability to dry out and still grow back. In fact it is one of their most notable characteristics. For this reason plants in the arctic tundra are generally short. According to N Pollumin 1959 there are families of cryophytes. Cushion plants which also grow in the tundra are types of plants that grow low to the ground in tight places. Small shrubs and grasses.
