Which biome is characterized by cold, dry land and the presence of a minimal number of trees?
Tundra is primarily located near the Arctic Circle and is characterized by a cold, dry climate that does not facilitate the growth of many trees. The tundra is generally thought of as a large flat, and largely barren land.
Desert is essentially the equivalent of tundra, but in a warm/hot climate. Tropical rainforest is classified as a biome where it is warm and humid, and where rain is known to fall throughout the year. Woodland biomes are largely populated with trees and experience seasonal precipitation, with rainy winters and drier summers.
