The Tundra Biome
It is known as the permafrost.
The biologist is most likely studying the tundra biome, where permafrost keeps the soil frozen year-round. This characteristic of the tundra biome has a significant impact on the vegetation and ecosystem dynamics in the region.
Below permafrost is below freezing temperature (0c)
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.
Approximately 50% of Canada's land area is covered by permafrost.
-Permafrost
Yes, it is found in some parts of the taiga.
Permafrost is characteristic of the tundra biome. It is a layer of permanently frozen ground found in high-latitude regions where the ground temperature remains below freezing for two or more years.
No, nothing grows in permafrost because during permafrost, the ground is permanently frozen

Only Antarctica or the tundra would have permafrost.
