Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Permafrost is a characteristic feature of tundra biome, which is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and low precipitation. The subsoil remains frozen permanently due to the low temperatures, which allows little organic material to decompose and causes waterlogging. This leads to the formation of bogs, ponds, and other wetland ecosystems in the tundra. Permafrost also affects vegetation patterns and soil nutrient cycling in the tundra biome.
