Tall trees and scattered bushes. Extensive in Africa. Desert: Lack of vegetation due to lack of rainfall. Extends over a wide range of latitudes. Biome experiences a range of different temperatures. Tundra. Long+Cold winters. Strong winds and little precipitation. Vegetation is typically stunted+grow close to the ground. Grasses,mosses+lichen.
