Taiga

Taiga, also known as boreal forest, is a vast, cold-climate forest found across northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. It consists mainly of coniferous trees like spruce, pine, and fir, which are well-adapted to cold temperatures and short growing seasons. The taiga plays a crucial role in Earth's climate regulation, carbon storage, and provides habitat for diverse wildlife such as bears, wolves, and snowshoe hares. It experiences long, harsh winters and brief summers, with the landscape often characterized by wetlands, lakes, and rich biodiversity despite the challenging environment.
