How are tundras and taigas different?

Taiga is a cold place but it does not have permafrost. So the grass and trees can grow there. In the northern part of Russia there are thick forests and they are called Taiga. In Tundra, there is permafrost and the possibility of growing any plantation is zero. The Tundra is located near to the northern pole.


Does the taiga have fertility soil?

No. The top layer of soil consists of either permafrost or rocks depending on where the taiga is located (in the U.S., it consists permafrost, but if you go a bit north and look at the taiga in Canada, it consists more rocks). This top layer keeps the soil underneath it from getting the proper nutrients needed for plants to grow.


What is the terrain of the taiga biome?

Dense forests mostly cover the terrain of the taiga biome. The soil is generally nutrient-deprived. Due to some of the intense winters in these areas, the soil may likely develop permafrost.
