Almost all of the soil moisture occurs in the form of ground ice, which creates a challenge for the plants and animals that must survive in the North.
2 Temperature changes take a long time to penetrate the ground, and deep layers that froze during the last Ice Age remain insulated from current surface conditions. A thin surface layer may thaw if air temperatures rise above freezing in the summer. However, a brief thaw promotes the growth of sparse vegetation, which acts as an insulating layer for the lower levels, keeping them frozen.
