Tundra Plants in a Changing Climate

In terms of ecosystems and since the summer months are likely times to observe, what have you found?

I'm a little unclear about your question. However, I've noticed many things up here in the Arctic Tundra.It is a very cold region where there are no trees but completely covered with vegetation. There are mosses, which are very spongy. There are lichens and they are generally pretty dry. There's also lots of different grasses and sedges, which are a lot like grasses. There are also shrubs, but they are very small and scraggily...only a couple of inches tal. And walking on it is very difficult because you never know how far down you'll go and the terrain is very uneven even though it looks flat.
