Detailed explanation-1: -Very short growing seasons and temperatures that are below zero degrees Celsius for much of the year characterize tundras. Biodiversity in the tundra is low and dominated by mosses, lichens, and low-growing perennial shrubs. The tundra biome contains only about 3% of the world’s flora.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arctic tundra and tropical rain forest biomes face the minimum and maximum mean annual temperature respectively.
Detailed explanation-4: -Deserts get about 250 millimeters (10 inches) of rain per year-the least amount of rain of all of the biomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct answer is ‘Desert’.
