Based on the lines of latitude (the imaginary lines that run east and west on our planet), we can divide the world into three regions: Polar, tropical, and temperate. Polar regions are the most northern and southern (between 66° and 90° lat) , with temperate regions further towards the equator (23°…

Much of this region is covered in ice all year long, meaning that there is almost no ability for anything to grow here. The large majority of the ice that melts in the summer becomes open ocean but a portion does reveal land. So what are the characteristics of polar soils?

The soils can be quite diverse depending on how close to the coast they are, the variability in that local climate, their elevation, and on how old they are, which is also variable because of all the moving ice, but there are some generalities.

The soil is very cold, with averages between -15°C and -40°C (5 to -40 °F), and has low water content. The soil just below the surface that thaws in spring is referred to as the active layer and is only about 17 to 55 cm (~7-22 inches) thick, and below that is permafrost. Permafrost is the layer of soil in polar regions (though it occurs further south than the northern polar ice caps as well) that stays frozen, or to be exact, remains under 0°C (32 °F) for two years straight. This layer is thicker than active soils in polar regions and can be around 70 cm (27.5 inches) thick depending on the area.

The active soil tends to be quite low in nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen, due to a general lack of biomass (the amount of plants and animals alive in an area) and the long time it takes things to decompose. However, in Antarctica nutrients can be a bit higher under areas inhabited by penguins, because they bring so many nutrients from the ocean and excrete them on land. The salt in these soils tends to form crusty layers instead of being evenly spread throughout the soil horizons.

The soils also vary between the North and South Pole, with Arctic soils containing higher moisture content and organic material when compared with Antarctic soils. Interestingly, the organic material generally forms in a small layer just above the permafrost, which traps many of the nutrients making them less available to plants, but still allowing for more soil life than in Antarctica. As well, Antarctic soil characteristically has surface pebble or boulder pavement, which is small pebbles, rocks and boulders covering most ice free areas.

In general, all of these soil characteristics make it very difficult for plant and animal life to survive here.

A bold plan to protect Amazonia

Amazonia - the forests and wetlands of the Amazon River basin and Guiana Shield in South America - is invaluable to human well-being: We need it to breathe, store carbon and provide critical medicines.

Building on nearly 30 years of working in the Amazon, Conservation International and its partners are pursuing the ambitious goal to achieve zero net deforestation in Amazonia by 2020 to protect essential resources, mitigate climate change and increase prosperity for all people.
