Scandinavian plants are well-adapted to the region's cold climate and short growing seasons. Common species include birch, pine, and spruce, which thrive in the northern forests. Many plants, such as blueberries and lingonberries, are also found in the wild and are important for local ecosystems and diets. In addition to trees and shrubs, Scandinavian flora features unique wildflowers like heath and arctic poppy. These plants often have specialized adaptations to survive harsh conditions, including frost resistance and shallow root systems. The diverse plant life supports various wildlife, contributing to the rich biodiversity of the region.
