Why is it that no trees grow in the tundra?

Answer 1

Because the tundra is a very cold place so it doesnt have much sunlight so trees dont grow there !!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

it is too cold for most living things [including plants] to survive, therefore, usually only evergreen trees [e.g. pine trees], where snow slides off and does not collect on leaves, can plants survive. the soil may in rare cases be frozen over, therefore, making survival even harder.And there is a frozen layer underneath the soil called permafrost which the roots of the trees cannot grow through therefore there cannot be any trees

Answer 3

There are no trees because the tundra is too windy it would knock the trees over and in some places it is too cold and the tundra has a thing called permafrost which is a frozen layer underneath the the soil that prevents the trees to grow there because of their roots.

Answer 4

the tundra is treeless because it is very very cold and the soil is very hard thats why the tundra is really treeless
