Well, more or less yes.

/nasa/ can be divided into two major climate zones - tundra in the north, and taiga in the south. In the region bordering /uuu/, the climate is still warm enough to support some degree of tree growth thanks to a combination of low latitude and the warm current flowing next to /uuu/. It can be subdivided into the subpolar oceanic climate (Cfc) in the west, and subarctic continental (Dfc/Dfd) in the east, with the latter subjected to a more drastic temperature range due to the lack of moderating ocean. In practice, though, the result is more or less the same - the region will be dominated by hardy conifer trees typical of taiga, as they are the only ones who can thrive in the cold weather. Here, you will likely find trees like firs, larches (which will become increasingly dominant as you go north), pines, and spruces. As you go further north, the climate becomes steadily colder, until you cross the point where the average monthly temperature never rises above 10°C (at around 60° N). The low temperature prevents tree seeds from developing into trees, and as a result, the forest will begin to thin out, leaving only patches of clonal forests that manage to spread slowly due to them not developing from seeds. Here, most plants will be hardy grass, moss, and lichen. The landscape will become increasingly bleak as you go north, until you reach the northern border, where the weather is so cold that the land never melts - this is the permafrost, the ice cap of the planet.
As for wetland, funnily enough, most of /nasa/ would be considered wetlands, barring the occasional hills. While tundra is a very dry place (almost no rainfall or snow), the brief summer only melts the surface soil, while the underground remains frozen. As water can't really pass through ice, it means the melted ice usually has nowhere to go and ends up building up in all kinds of tundra terrain like bog, peatland, pingos, palsa, patterned grounds and thaw lakes. The waterlogged environment also means there will be more bugs than an average Bethesda game during the warm season - fortunately the Sanalites already have space suits to not get sucked drier than a Deadbeat.
As you might expect, agriculture is difficult in /nasa/, and borderline impossible in the tundra north. In the taiga, agriculture might be possible by making use of fast-growing, hardy crops like potatoes during the short growing season (which is longer near /uuu/), Alternatively, growing grass for livestock is also possible, although this is counteracted by the destruction done by mossback tortoises. Barring that, you will have to rely on either hunting (moose and reindeer are the main stay) or greenhouse for growing food, in which case it simply becomes a question on how many resources you're willing to expend on counteracting the climate to grow crops.
The land is generally not fertile, but /nasa/ likely has the technology to resolve that (from fertiliser to aquaculture).
