Differences

• Alpine Tundras occur in climatically stressed enviroments at high mountainous altitudes. Alphine Tundra can also occur in mountaintops at tropical latitudes, although this vegetation type is much more common in temperature regions.
• Arctic Tundras occur in southern areas. On wet sites, the Arctic Tundra of North America develops as relatively productive wet meadows dominated by a tussock-forming cottongrass(Eriophorum vaginatum), while better-drained sites are dominated by shrubs such as willow.
