As we move poleward, the vegetation in the tundra biome grades from stunted trees to grasses to lichens. This is due to decreasing temperatures and soil nutrients, which make it difficult for tall trees to grow, resulting in a transition from shrubs to grasses and eventually to low-growing plants such as lichens.
