Answer:

The tundra experiences little rainfall, which makes the soil devoid of nutrients. The soil is permafrost, or permanently frozen. Both of these factors make it difficult for plants to grow in the tundra.

Answer:

Frigid temperatures, etc.

Explanation

The tundra has very low temperatures and a layer of permafrost over the soil. It has characteristics similar to the desert and it also has a short summer and a long, freezing winter. Therefore, there are not many flora variations that can thrive in that biome.
