it is made up of soil,bedrock,and permafrost.
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 top layer of soil in the tundra is called the "organic layer" or "O horizon." It is made up of decomposing plant material and contains high amounts of organic matter due to the slow decomposition process in the cold conditions of the tundra.
Arctic tundra soil is predominantly composed of permafrost, which is a permanently frozen layer of soil beneath the surface. This soil is nutrient-poor and has a high organic content due to the slow decomposition of plant material in the cold environment.
The color of the soil in the tundra is typically dark brown or gray due to the presence of organic matter and minerals. This dark color helps the soil to absorb more sunlight and retain heat in the cold tundra environment.
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.
soil horizons determine the age of the soil
go ask your momThis is soo dumb.....anyways the precipitation to tundra is really wet like and it makes the soil rich to let the animals live.

the soil is permafrost, and the soil is low in mineral

The soil has permafrost (that is when the soil stays frozen all year around). The trees can't grow and there are only small plants. In the winter the sun never comes up.
The shrub is adapted to the tundra because it does not need soil.
