Why is siberia taiga swampy answer?
Siberia's taiga regions can be swampy due to the cold and wet climate, which slows down the decomposition of organic matter, creating waterlogged conditions. The long winters freeze the ground, forming permafrost that blocks drainage, leading to boggy areas. Additionally, the flat terrain and high water table contribute to the swampy conditions in parts of Siberia's taiga.

Is permafrost good?
It is not so much that permafrost is good, as losing permafrost is bad. Permafrost keeps gases like carbon dioxide trapped within its frozen depths; when permafrost thaws, that gas is released, exacerbating global warming. Further, permafrost develops its own ecosystem which is destroyed when the permafrost is destroyed through thawing. The loss of all permafrost would mean the extinction of a lot of species.
