Rganisms that live in the tundra biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. the labrador tea plant is a shrub that grows to be approximately five feet tall. its leaves are used by human residents of the arctic tundra to create both beverages and medicine. the leaves are harvested from each plant individually off the branches throughout the year. how has the labrador tea plant adapted to enable its survival against the cold of the tundra biome?

The Labrador tea plant has numerous adaptations that enable its survival in the harsh tundra biome. In the warmer parts of the tundra it is growing straight up, while in the colder parts of the biome it is as close to the ground as possible, carpet-like even.

The leafs of this plant are curled, which minimizes the effect of the cold and strong winds on them.

It is able to perform photosynthesis even in very cold conditions when most of the plants are in state of hibernation.

This plant also keeps the leaves on itself, and uses them for extra warmth.
