The Alaskan tundra may seem like a desolate and barren place in terms of plant life, especially since no trees of any size can grow there. The Alaskan tundra receives very little precipitation, experiences bone-chilling temperatures and winds and has a layer of permafrost beneath the soil. Nevertheless, plants do survive in this ecosystem. The plants that grow in this part of North America have adapted to such extreme and strenuous conditions.
