The tundra is a biome that does not feature trees as a climax community.
The biome or plant-animal formation is the basic community unit, that is, two separate communities, plant and animal, do not exist in the same area. The sum of plants in the biome has been known as vegetation, but for r animals no similar distinctive term has become current. 1. Dry Arctic Tundra— Barren Ground or Barren Land tundra with an eye-level view of the quintessential patterned ground with the polygon shape, the classic polygonal-patterned ground tundra. The tundra is a biome that does not feature trees as a climax  community. The tundra can only sustain short vegetation in the form  of grasses and shrubs due to its cold tem … peratures and lack of  rainfall. Answered. However, a biome is composed not only of the climax vegetation, but also of associated successional communities, persistent subclimax communities, fauna, and soils. The biome concept embraces the idea of community, of interaction among vegetation, animal populations, and soil. On this page you can find information on the plants of the Tundra. The tundra is not a plants best place to grow because perma frost (the permanently frozen soil) that is about a finger-length under the surface in the summer months prevents the plants' roots from growing as long as they need. Climax Communities. A climax community is one that has reached the stable stage. When extensive and well defined, the climax community is called a biome. Examples are tundra, grassland, desert, and the deciduous, coniferous, and tropical rain forests. The alpine tundra is a windswept, treeless area that extends from treeline to the highest mountain peaks. Much of the tundra appears as barren rock or a cover of thin soils. Yet in many places deep soils and abundant plant cover exist. 4. Wet tundra sandwiched between the Beaufort Sea— This small peninsula of tundra is the hydric extreme of the tundra types (using tundra in the narrow, restrictive sense for Arctic herbaceous cover types and excluding riparian and swamp vegetation types).
