Subsoil
The layer of soil just below the surface of the tundra is known as the permafrost. It is a thick layer of permanently frozen soil that acts as a barrier to water drainage and root penetration, making it challenging for plant growth in tundra regions.
The layer of solid rock below the soil is called bedrock. It is composed of consolidated rock that serves as the foundation for the soil layer above it.
Permafrost is the term used to describe a frozen layer of soil that remains below the surface layer of topsoil.
A layer of soil differing from the layers above and below is referred to as a soil horizon. Horizons are characterized by specific properties such as color, texture, structure, and composition that set them apart from neighboring layers. These horizons are important in understanding the formation and properties of soil profiles.
The soil in tundra regions is usually classified as permafrost, which is soil that remains frozen year-round. The top layer, known as the active layer, thaws during the short summer, allowing for limited plant growth. This soil is nutrient-poor and has slow decomposition rates due to the cold temperatures.

The layer of soil that is frozen is called permafrost. Permafrost is soil, sediment, or rock that remains at or below 0°C for at least two years, often containing ice.

The permanent layer of frozen soil is called permafrost. It remains frozen year-round and can extend several meters below the ground's surface.
