Logging, mining, and hydroelectric development are all issues of concern within this biome. This hurts and reduces habitats for many species of flora and fauna.

# data[].attributes.body
Because of the trees that this biome produces significant portions of this biome and the forests within it have been logged.

This biome helps with climate regulation, water purification, maintenance of soil productivity, air-quality regulation, while also producing timber.

Foxes, lynxes, bears, minks, squirrels, grey wolves, caribou, reindeers, and moose all reside in this biome. Because of the cold temperatures the species of animals must be able to survive through subzero temperatures.

Coniferous trees are the main type of flora such as pines, spruces, and firs. The coniferous needles can withstand cold subfreezing temperatures. There are some deciduous trees such as birch maple and aspen. All of the deciduous trees drop their leaves before subfreezing temperatures and grow new leaves quickly during the short warm season. Overall this biome is not good for agriculture, but it can support some species of trees.

# data[].attributes.body
The plant life mainly consists of coniferous evergreen trees that tolerate cold winters and short growing seasons.
This biome is considered subarctic and the climate is very cold. While precipitation is relatively low, plant life is constricted more by temperature rather than precipitation.
This biome is mostly found between 50 - 60 degrees north in both Northern America and Northern Europe. And it is found at an elevation of around 3,000 ft.

# data[].attributes.body
Because of the cold temperatures and low precipitation the decomposition rate is relatively slow. In addition to that, the needles from evergreen trees have a low nutrient content. Thus the soil in this biome is lacking in nutrients.

Found throughout Canada and Alaska. Also seen in northern Europe in Norway, Sweden, & Russia (not shown).
