If you were to walk through the taiga you would see quite a few animals. Some of them might be the beaver, meadow vole, ermine, and the red fox. One of the less common animals you would see in the taiga is the Amur, or Siberian Tiger.

Not many plants can live in the Taiga due to harsh weather. Some plant life that does survive there are coniferous trees such as, pine, spruce, hemlock, and fir trees. Forestry is the worst threat to the plants. Other things that threaten them are forest fires, insects, and pesticides.

The climate of the Taiga is very cold. Climate affects the composition of the soil making needles decompose slower, which makes rich soil develop more slowly. Temperatures can drop below - 60 degrees C (- 76 degrees F) in winter. Commonly weather rises above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) in the summer.

The taiga is the largest continuous biome in the world. This biome is located in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere and is in North America, Asia, and Europe. It stretches across Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia, spreading through the Northern Hemisphere.

The taiga biome is in danger because of deforestation.  Humans are cutting down trees by the hundreds and slowly, the taiga is disappearing.  This is obvious a negative impact on the forest because it means many animals lose their homes and are forced to move elsewhere, or they die off.  Specifically in Russia, a reason for the deforestation was because the Russian government needed money and so invited logging companies to work in the taiga.  However in California, a group called the Pacific Energy and Resource Center created the Siberian Forests Project made to contribute more to stopping deforestation in the Siberian taiga.
