Tundra

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a garden alive in a place where the growing season is extremely short and the weather is mostly cold. This situation is similar to the tundra, which is a biome characterized by its treeless landscape, enduring long, frigid winters, and experiencing only brief, mild summers. Just as a gardener struggles to cultivate plants when warmth and sunlight are scarce, the tundra's ecosystem must adapt to harsh conditions with limited time for growth, relying on hardy, low-lying vegetation that can survive the extreme cold and take advantage of the short window of favorable weather.
