Best Answer

In geology, permafrost or permafrost soil is soil at or below the freezing point of water (0 °C or 32 °F) for two or more years. Ice is not always present, as may be in the case of nonporous bedrock, but it frequently occurs and it may be in amounts exceeding the potential hydraulic saturation of the ground material.

permafrost affects our plants and soil because

when permafrost is formed

it leaves the soil down below it and the plants have to grow above it

and then the plants are getting NO nutriants

and whenever the permafrost goes away then plants

have all the soil and room and nutriants to grow

permafrost never goes away in the artic but it will because of gobal warming
