In the Arctic tundra, many types producers, including flowering plants, low shrubs, sedges, grasses, mosses and algae, use the sunâs energy during the process of photosynthesis. Producers are then eaten by plant-eating primary consumers â- herbivores -- such as voles, caribou, arctic hares, musk oxen and squirrels. Some consumers are omnivores, which get their food from both plant and animal sources. These include grizzly bears, polar bears and ground squirrels.
There are two types of tundra, the arctic and the alpine tundra. The arctic tundra is the land around the North Pole. The alpine tundra can be found above the tree line of tall, cold mountains.Tundra covers one fifth of the Earth's surface.ome plants that grow in the tundra include lichen, short shrubs, sedges, grasses, flowers, birch trees and willow trees. Cushion plants, which, also grow in the tundra, are types of plants that grow low to the ground in tight places. They are called cushion plants because they are soft and cushiony.
