The CNL, by comparison, is a master's-prepared advanced generalist. Education and preparation are broad with no specialization. Evidence-based practice is assimilated and applied to the microsystem in which the CNL functions.
Tundras are among Earth's coldest, harshest biomes. Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the climate is cold and windy and rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are snow-covered for much of the year, until summer brings a burst of wildflowers.
The ecology of the tundra is controlled by the cold climate and the northern latitude. The former means that a unique soil structure, permafrost, forms and dominates the biology. Permafrost is a layer of soil that remains frozen year-round.
