THe Boreal Forest Biome(AKA Taiga)
The taiga biome can be located in the northern hemisphere, primarily in north America, Asia, Europe, and most of Canada and Russia.
Some abiotic factors that go into the biome are that it has large amounts of precipitation, it has both cold and hot seasons, the soil is very fertile, and it is far away from the sea.
Some biotic factors that go into the biome are the black bear, the fox, the deer, the squirrel, the coyote, and the balsam fir.
When a species wants to move into this biome, it must go through some serious changes. One of which must be that it has to be able to put up with subzero temperatures. It must also be able to survive in the winter. Many adaptions must be made, and they alll point toward the abiotic factors
This is a basic food web for the taiga biome
This is a basic energy pyramid of the taiga biome
Producers of the Taiga such as its conifers and groups of low ground vegetation like shrubs, ferns, and moss store the energy of sun by photosynthesis and thrive off of organic materials as well as water and carbon dioxide. They provide the food source for first order consumers such as elk and moose who feed off the foliage of the forest to survive. Secondary consumers in a Taiga include carniferous animals such as wolves or lynx, which hunt and consume primary consumers to live. Lynx can also represent the tertiary order, feeding off secondary consumers such as birds and other smaller animals that eat rodents or insects. Birds of prey, foxes, weasles, and skunks can all be considered secondary consumers. Decomposers in a Taiga are mainly fungi such as mushrooms as well as earth worms, soil bacteria, nematodes, and various types of protozoans.
The taiga is important to us in many ways. It's large amount of trees filter carbon dioxide into clean, fresh air all the time. This is good, especially since factories and other pollutions are filling the air more than ever. The taiga also filter billions of liters of water every day! Quite the purifier!
Humans have a large impact on the taiga. From civilizations to planting new trees, humans shape the taiga's life. Humans also have a large negative impact on the taiga. Deforestation is the biggest problem. We can help prevent this by volunteering to help replant the trees and clean up the trash left by human industry.
