Tundra biomes are either found at high latitudes or high elevations in mountains. These are both very cold environments that are dominated most of the year by snow and icy conditions. This in itself tends to stunt plant growth.

These regions, especially, tundra in the high latitudes also have very short growing seasons (3 months perhaps) and so plants can only photosynthesize and store sugars for this amount of time. High winds in these environments also tend to keep plants low to the ground.

Answer:

Biodiversity is a variation of organisms (plants, animals and bacteria) in the world or a specific habitat. Biodiversity helps to keep an ecosystem healthy because there is more variation of food and different organisms can rely on each other for survival. Also it offers a larger more reliable food chain and if one species is suddenly wiped out, it won't impact the ecosystem as much as it would if the biodiversity was smaller.
