The total yearly precipitation 12-33 inches (30-85 centimeters)

Although most winters have some snowfall, most of the precipitation comes during the warm, humid summer months

Although two major cities, Toronto and Moscow, are located in the aiga biome, most of this biome is uninhabited by people.

WIldfires are very common in the Taiga biome. These fires are necessary to help rid the area of old and sock trees.

# data[].attributes.body
The Taiga is the second largest biome, following the ocean biome.

Winter: -54 to -1° C (-65 to 30° F)
Summer: -7° C to 21° C (20° F to 70° F).

Spruce Budworm (Choristoneura) - Primary 

# data[].attributes.body
-Herbivores : trees (and their needles) and plants of various kinds. It usually attacks near the top of the tree and also eats the buds responsible for a branch's new growth
-Predators include spiders, beetles, ants, and birds
-Seen as a pest in most spruce forests in North America, but can affect the number of trees growing

Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) - Primary

# data[].attributes.body
-Herbivores: trees!!! (lodgepole, ponderosa, sugar, and western white pines primarily)
-Predators include birds like woodpeckers, and various insects
-Have a significant role in increasing and decreasing the number of trees (but is more widely known to be a pest)

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) - Tertiary

# data[].attributes.body
-Carnivores : small mammals like squirrels, rabbits, and raccoons
-Very fews predators, as the eagles are so large and have their own predatory power. However, they can be attacked by some of their prey when they attack nests or feed on eggs
-Eagles compete with cranes and ducks over salmon. Without eagles, the fish population would decrease due to more predators forcing the two birds to look for other food sources and cause the entire ecosystem populations to decrease

-Carnivore : snowshoe hare, birds, or even deer
-Predators include cougars, wolves, and humans
-Important to ecosystem as they target smaller prey species that reproduce relatively quickly

Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) - Secondary 

# data[].attributes.body
-Omnivore : insects, seeds, bark, nuts, fruits, mushrooms and pine seeds or cones
-Eaten by arboreal predators like Wildcats, but more likely to be eaten by organisms like the Red fox, or even dogs and cats
- Help the forest in its process of renewal. In years of high seed production, they store part of the collected seeds (hazel, beech, chestnut, stone pine, Scots pine, etc.).

Caribou moss grows in arctic and northern regions around the world. It grows on the ground and on rocks. It is actually a lichen. In some areas, it was used as a medicine to treat colds and fevers, and has been proven to contain photochemical to kill staphylococcus.
Animals such as Reindeer and Caribou feed on lichen during the coldest periods of the season.

Habitat: Lowland to Mid-Elevation Forests in Western North America and Parts of Asia. The lumber from Douglas Firs is used mostly for buildings and construction purposes. Little animals and birds eat the seeds from the cones. Bears eat the sap layer underneath the bark.

Widely distributed in the boreal and northern regions of North America.
The wood of white spruce is used primarily for pulpwood and lumber for various construction, prefab houses, mobile homes, furniture, boxes and crates, and pallets. It also is used for house logs, musical instruments, and paddles.  Snowshoe hare eat the needles, bark, and twigs, and mice and voles the seedlings. Chipmunks, chickadees, nuthatches, cross bills, and pine siskins eat the seeds
