Abstract
The polar-subpolar zone comprises the cold deserts with a lot of frost debris, which are snow- and ice-free in summer, and, towards lower latitudes, the treeless tundra. In the Northern Hemisphere, its southern border roughly equals – except in mountain regions – the 10 °C-July isotherm. Main extensions are.
