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.
