[[File:tundra_v50_preview.png|right]][[File:Tundra.png‎|thumb|200px|Some [[elk]] wandering through a desolate tundra. Classic version of the game with a texture pack.]]'''Tundras''' are [[Climate#Freezing|very cold]], mostly flat [[biome]]s, essentially freezing [[grassland]]s with nearly no [[plant|vegetation]] - unlike [[glacier]]s, though, they do not have a layer of ground ice. [[River]]s do not flow into tundras, and will in fact stop immediately on the tundra border - however, the elevation change will continue as if the river was still there. Any [[lake]]s and [[ocean]]s in the same climatic region are covered in ice, staying frozen year-round or melting only at the peak of summer.

No [[tree]]s grow in tundras - only three surface [[crop]]s can tolerate the environment: [[bilberry|bilberries]], [[blueberry|blueberries]], and [[cranberry|cranberries]]. Other surface crops will generally ''not'' be growable, even in an underground "greenhouse". If you have non-dwarven neighbors, they can still bring surface plant products, but you will be unable to do anything with the resulting seeds, other than cooking or trading them.

Embarking in a site with overlapping [[biome]]s may result in a river that only exists outside of the tundra. Such rivers will begin to flow normally when the [[temperature]] rises high enough, possibly causing the downstream end (if there is one) to drain off the map completely. [[Mining|Channeling]] should fix this temporarily (although the river will freeze again eventually).
