50% of the territory is bare rock and ice, or very sparse vegetation. 30% of the ecoregion has a cover of moss and lichen, and another 3% of herbaceous cover and shrubs
Some small areas on the east coast have greater plant life around
hot springs, particularly marsh willowherb (Epilobium palustre)) andthe northern green orchid (Platanthera hyperborea)
Studies have identified eight types of vegetation on the east coast from 72 to 79° N:
Dwarf shrub heaths (Cassiope tetragona
, Salix arctica
, Vaccinium uliginosum
or Betula nana
,
Grasslands (dry in summer: Arctagrostis latifolia
, Carex bigelowii
, sooty sedge (Carex misandra
), and Eriophorum triste
)
Permanently wet fens (Carex stans
, Eriophorum scheuchzeri
, and Arctagrostis latifolia)
Snowbeds (Phippsia algida
, Salix herbacea
, Trisetum spicatum
and Erigeron humilis)
;
Open, graminoid Dryas-heaths and fellfields on dry soil (Carex nardina
, Carex rupestris
, and Kobresia myosuroides)
;
Fellfields (Calamagrostis purpurascens
and Carex supina
)
Communities on wet ground that is covered by an organic crust (Koenigia islandica
and Festuca hyperborea
);
Halophytic vegetation (Puccinellia phryganodes
and Carex subspathacea
).

TREES
The treeline forest of these high mountains is the only one in the Northern tundra not to be composed of conifers: it is a tangle of downy birch.

Parts of the ecoregion are located in smaller mountain areas surrounded by lower elevation biomes, as is the case with coastal mountains in Norway. At the highest altitude is high alpine tundra with very modest vegetation and bare rock, skree, snowfields and glaciers. At lower altitude is low alpine tundra with continuous plant cover; dwarf birch and willows up to 1 m tall and grasslands, as well as numerous lakes and bogs. At still lower altitude is the adjacent montane birch zone with small (2–5 m) mountain downy birch (Betula pubescens) above the conifer tree line; some stunted spruce and pine, and many lakes and bogs. This part is regarded as part of the High boreal (sparse taiga) vegetation zone; birch forming the treeline is very rare outside Scandinavia (also in Iceland and the Kamtchatka peninsula).
Tundra
The arctic tundra is located between the north pole and the coniferous forests or taiga region. It is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and land that remains frozen year-round. Arctic tundra occurs in frigid mountaintop regions at very high elevations.
Alpine tundra can be found in high elevations anywhere in the world, even in tropic regions. Although the land is not frozen year-round as in arctic tundra regions, these lands are typically covered in snow for most of the year.
The difference between the Arctic and Alpine tundra is that the soil in the Alpine tundra region is not permanently frosted. Therefore, small shrubs are visible in the Alpine tundra region.

MOSSES
Moss will grow in wide and thick clumps, but what looks like a giant plant is actually hundreds of little tiny plants growing closely together. Growing in bundles allows plants to be sheltered from the harsh conditions, so it is an effective adaptation for many plants in the tundra.

FLOWERS / HERBS
During the summer the wildflowers bloom quickly and beautifully. There are 400 different flowers in the arctic tundra. Most of the flowers that survive in the tundra are perennials; they lay dormant in the cold winters and grow again from the same roots in the summer.

GRASS / SEDGE
The ground of the arctic tundra is marshy and boggy during the summer, so plants must be able to survive in water-logged areas. Seasonal grass thrive anywhere there is a little bit of soil and enough water. You will often see clumps of grass growing in marshy areas of the arctic tundra.

Dominant rock
Base-rich rocks, made-up of, for example, phyllites or garnet schists, generally harbour a distinct and species-rich, calcicolous vegetation (Fig. 2). In contrast, the more common, hardweathered acid rocks, such as quartzites, syenites or hard schists, often give rise to a species-poor flora dominated by dwarf shrubs or graminoids with lower nutrient requirements.
