In geology, permafrost or permafrost soil is soil at or below the freezing point of water (0 °C or 32 °F) for two or more years. Ice is not always present, as may be in the case of nonporous bedrock, but it frequently occurs and it may be in amounts exceeding the potential hydraulic saturation of the ground material.

What makes life difficult for annual plants in the tundra?

Annual plants in the tundra face several challenges that make survival difficult. The harsh climate, characterized by extreme cold, short growing seasons, and permafrost, limits their ability to grow and reproduce. Additionally, the nutrient-poor soil and strong winds can hinder seed germination and establishment. These factors combined create a challenging environment for annual plants to thrive and complete their life cycles.
