Solution
The Tundra region is covered with perpetual snow and the temperature away below freezing point does not allow the: growth of trees. Only moss and small flowery plants and lichen etc. grow in the short summer season, only with 10°C temperature at the most. In spite of the six months’ sunlight, the snow cover reflects the insolation.
