The Taiga is a mostly snowy biome where plants and animals have adapted to live in a harsh arctic climate. Found mostly in Russia and Canada close to the North Pole, it  naturally will have a harder winter than other places. There is spring and summer, but they are short compared to the winter.

Summers in Taiga are short and moist, whereas winters are long, cold, and dry. The drastic temperature change from season to season means most of the year the temperatures are well below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.  Because of this, so the precipitation is low (30-84 cm/year) compared to other biomes. This means the precipitation is mostly snow. This also shows that trees only have a month to grow.

Abiotic/Biotic Relationships: In the summers there are many fires to kill out the sick and weak trees. So the new trees can have space to grow.

Abiotic/Biotic Relationships: The Wolverines are mean creatures and they eat a lot. They need to because of how hard it is to get food in the winter. They take their left over food and put into the snow like a freezer so they can come back and eat it for later
