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. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is
created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation.
