The largest terrestrial biome on earth.  This biome typically has short, wet summers and long, cold winters. This biome is also called coniferous forest or boreal forest. The sight of a taiga biome is breathtaking.

Where is taiga biomes mostly located? Well,  It extends in a broad band across North America, Europe, and Asia to the southern border of the arctic tundra.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Taiga the average rainfall is 12-33 inches.Most of the rainfall comes during the summer months.

Parasitic-  aphid on a grape vine
Commensal-  Fungi on a tree

The soil in the Taiga is poor in nutrients.It is also thin, due to the cold. The water in the taiga is a mixture of salt and fresh waters.

Living in the taiga is cold and lonely. Coldness and food shortages make things very difficult, mostly in the winter. The average temperature is below freezing for six months out of the year. The winter temperature range is -54 to -1° C (-65 to 30° F). The winters, as you can see, are really cold, with lots of snow.

Temperature range in the summer gets as low as -7° C (20° F). The high in summer can be 21° C (70° F). The summers are mostly warm, rainy and humid.

Plant life is effected by the conditions of their environments. In the Taiga biome, very few plants are able to grow due to the lack of sunlight and the cold harsh winter.

Leaves - most trees living in this setting have needle like leaves because it is easier to grow, due to lack of sunlight, and also less energy is made, making smaller leaves.

Waxing Coating - this helps tree not evaporate from lack of water

Animals life all over the world is effected by their environment. In the Taiga biome, animals have a select variation of adaptations to better protect themselves in the Taiga environment.

Migration - certain animals that are sensitive to the cold, travel through migration, to warmer climates.

Fur - during the harsh winters, many animals change their fur color to match the environment.
