OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Alpine tundra are located at very high elevations atop mountains, where overnight temperatures fall below freezing. Tundra regions typically get less than 25 centimeters (10 inches) of precipitation annually, which means these areas are also considered deserts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tundra winters are long, dark, and cold, with mean temperatures below 0°C for six to 10 months of the year. The temperatures are so cold that there is a layer of permanently frozen ground below the surface, called permafrost. This permafrost is a defining characteristic of the tundra biome.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Arctic tundra, where the average temperature is-30 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-34 to-6 degrees Celsius), supports a variety of animal species, including Arctic foxes, polar bears, gray wolves, caribou, snow geese, and musk oxen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Climate-cold, windy and little rainfall. Snow covers the ground for much of the year. Average temperature in the Arctic tundra is between-12°C and-6°C. The summer season lasts for 50-60 days each year during which there is permanent daylight.
