Tundra vegetation is found in regions with very low temperatures and short growing seasons, typically in high latitudes (Arctic tundra) or high altitudes (Alpine tundra). Countries with significant Tundra areas include those with land extending into the Arctic region, such as Russia (Siberia, Arctic coast), Canada (Northern Territories, Nunavut), and the USA (Alaska). Belarus is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe with a temperate continental climate, characterized by forests and wetlands, not Tundra.

– Tundra biome occurs in cold climates with permafrost.
– Countries like Russia, Canada, and the USA have large areas of Tundra in their northern regions.
– Belarus is located in the temperate zone and lacks the necessary climatic conditions for Tundra.

Other areas with Tundra include parts of Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Alpine tundra occurs in high mountains at any latitude where temperatures are low enough.
