The soil in the tundra is low in nutrients. There is an under-layer of soil called permafrost which remains completely frozen at all times, allowing little room for deep rooting plants and trees.]]> 2017-04-07 22:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/chloeh0926/7z95ez8cxpr0/wish/165480467 Plant life sbowden0127 https://padlet.com/chloeh0926/7z95ez8cxpr0/wish/165480553
