the soil characteristics are cold rocky and poor nutrients
The arctic tundra has poor soil
The reason why there are no trees in the tundra is because the soil is permanently frozen. This is called the Permafrost.
The tundra has permafrost because the soil in the tundra is very poor. This is why there are not many trees or plants that grow very tall in the tundra. Permafrost is the top layer of soil that is frozen. Obviously there's permafrost because in the tundra it is very cold and the soil is not very rich.

No,because the layer of the soil beneath the surface soil is frozen all the time this layer is called permafrost . The tundra and desert are two distinct biomes. While they share some characteristics, they are not the same. The only true 'frozen desert' is Antarctica.
the soil is permafrost, and the soil is low in mineral

Tundra is a cold, treeless, plain-like area with a frozen subsurface. Some characteristics of tundra are an extremely cold climate, low biotic diversity, and limited drainage.
Tundra is marked by a permanently frozen layer of soil called permafrost, which can be at considerable depth or just below the surface.
