Definition of 'Tundra'
From: GCIDE
- Tundra \Tun"dra\ (t[=oo]n"dr[.a]), n. [Russ.] One of the level or undulating treeless plains characteristic of northern arctic regions in both hemispheres; the term is most commony associated with the arctic plains of Siberia. The tundras mark the limit of arborescent vegetation; they consist of black mucky soil with a permanently frozen subsoil, but support a dense growth of mosses and lichens, and dwarf herbs and shrubs, often showy-flowered. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
