About this book

Polar and alpine tundra have many similarities, but also differences; particularly towards the equator, high mountains show strong differences from polar regions. Toward and in the subpolar regions there are generally more similarities between alpine belts and real polar tundra, although permafrost may often be missing in the mountains even there.
