this ecosystem has:

• warm, wet summers and cold, wet winters
• soil that is rich in nutrients
• only a few types of trees

this ecosystem has:

• long, cold winters and short, cold summers
• mostly small plants
• soil that is frozen year - round

this ecosystem has:

• a small amount of rain or snow
• dry, thin soil
• long, cold winters

Explanation:

A cold desert ecosystem is characterized by low precipitation (a small amount of rain or snow), dry and thin soil, and long, cold winters. The first ecosystem described has warm, wet summers and nutrient - rich soil, which is more like a temperate forest. The second ecosystem has soil that is frozen year - round (permafrost), which is a tundra characteristic. The third ecosystem with a small amount of rain or snow, dry thin soil, and long cold winters matches the cold desert description.

Answer:

The third ecosystem.
