The tundra is one of the most fragile biomes on the planet. The food chains are relatively sipmle and thus easily disrupted. Because conditons are so extreme, the land is easily damaged and slow to recover.
The tundra has permafrost in the ground year round. The soil is frozen solid in winter and very wet in summer, the permafrost does not allow for much drainage which in turn makes the land soggy and marshy.
Tundra soil has no commercial purpose whatsoever. In the winter it is frozn and in summer is squishy and water logged. Travel across tundra in the summer can be difficult.
The water cycle affects the tundra by giving water to the animals and plants.
poor soil is found in the tundra

the soil stays frozen all year around.
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.

Tundra is marked by a permanently frozen layer of soil called permafrost, which can be at considerable depth or just below the surface.
