The Arctic tundra is one of the world's northernmost ecosystems. Low-Arctic tundra circles the globe, nestled between boreal forests to the south and mid-Arctic tundra to the north. Low-Arctic tundra makes up the northern mainland of North America, Scandinavia, and the Russian Federation. Indigenous people have inhabited the Arctic for thousands of years, and those living there today rely on subsistence harvests and traditional knowledge to survive. Though trees are absent from the tundra, it is rich with life and is home to a plethora of plants, rodents, caribou, birds, and carnivores. |
