Taiga Biome

The taiga biome, also known as the boreal or coniferous forest, is a vast, cold-region forest found in northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. It is primarily composed of evergreen trees like pines, spruces, and firs, which adapt to withstand harsh winters. The taiga experiences long, cold winters and short, mild summers, with nutrient-poor, acidic soils. This biome supports wildlife such as bears, wolves, moose, and many bird species. It plays a vital role in regulating Earth's climate, storing carbon, and maintaining biodiversity, despite its challenging environment.
