Bearberry, also known as Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, survives in the tundra through its unique adaptations. Its evergreen leaves are small, thick, and waxy, which helps reduce water loss through transpiration and protect the plant from harsh winds. The shallow root system of bearberry allows it to efficiently absorb nutrients from the nutrient-poor tundra soil. Additionally, bearberry produces red berries that are an important food source for wildlife in the tundra ecosystem, aiding in its reproduction and survival.

Well, honey, a bearberry survives in the tundra by being tough as nails. It has thick evergreen leaves to protect itself from the harsh weather, and it can handle those freezing temperatures like a champ. Plus, it's got some serious adaptability skills to thrive in such a challenging environment.

An adaptation for the bearberry is the silky hairs on the leaves to stay warm in the harsh climate of the tundra. It also stays warm because its a low growing plant so it can stay out of the wind chill and its leaves are very leathery to stay warm.
