A small ground hugging plants that live in a cold environment?

One example of a small ground-hugging plant that thrives in cold environments is the Arctic moss (Calliergon giganteum). This moss is adapted to harsh conditions, growing close to the ground to minimize exposure to freezing winds and retain moisture. Another example is the cushion plant, such as Silene acaulis, which forms dense mats and can withstand extreme cold and high altitudes, often found in alpine regions. Both types of plants play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
