Taiga Biome

Climate and Weather

Topic 1

Taiga climate is milder than tundra climate and moist enough to promote appreciable vegetation growth but too cold for good and prolific tree growth. Sharply seasonal patterns mark this climate type. Winters are extremely cold and long, whereas summers are moderately hot and short. Long, cold winters, and short, mild, wet summers.

Animals

Topic 2

  • Snowshoe hare
  • Canada lynx
  • North American river otter
  • Arctic fox
  • Brown bear
  • Martens
  • great honerd owl
  • Bison
  • Wolverine
  • Bobcat
  • European mink

The Vegitation

Topic 3

Taigas are thick forests. Coniferous trees, such as spruce, pine, and fir, are common. Coniferous trees have needles instead of broad leaves, and their seeds grow inside protective, woody cones. While deciduous trees of temperate forests lose their leaves in winter, conifers never lose their needles.

Threats to the Biome

Taiga ecosystems are threatened by direct human activity and climate change. Animals of the taiga, such as foxes or bears, have always been hunted.

Topic 4

Solutions to the threats

Topic 5

  • Enacting stricter laws and rules to protect taiga regions.
  • Recycling resources (such as paper, which is produced by logging large amounts of trees)
  • Switching from fossil fuels to alternative, renewable energy resources - such as wind or solar power.

Location

Topic 6

The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas.
