Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, meaning treeless plain.
When water saturates the upper surface, bogs and ponds may form, providing moisture for plants.
Soil in the Tundra is poor in nutrients. Permafrost is a layer of soil that is frozen year round. Only the top active layer thaws out in summer.
