Alpine biomes are found in the mountain regions all around the world while Arctic biomes are found almost entirely in the Northern Hemisphere.
Usually, Alphine summer temperatures range from 10 to 15°C . The Artic tundra's sun, however, only warms the tundra up to a range of about 3°C to 12°C.
Because of the severe climate of the Alpine biome, plants and animals have developed adaptations to those conditions. There are only about 200 species of Alpine plants. The arctic tundra biome has a relatively low biodiversity. There are around 1700 species of plants that live in this zone. Even though this zone has very few species, the number of individuals in each species that make this biome a home for part of the year is very large.
