With a cold climate, very little rainfall, and temperatures that range between 64 - 70 degrees fahrenheit on top of the average temperatures being below freezing; the Taiga is home to various different species of animals and plants]]> 2019-09-17 17:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gavinburch/il99zswbrr61/wish/385487781 Climatograph of the Taiga gavinburch https://padlet.com/gavinburch/il99zswbrr61/wish/385495769 As you can see. The temperatures in the taiga tend to rise and fall much like in any other biome. These changes are less warm, but are changes none the less. Our summer months are warmer here too, but, still in low temperature such as 40-60 degrees.]]> 2019-09-17 18:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gavinburch/il99zswbrr61/wish/385495769 gavinburch https://padlet.com/gavinburch/il99zswbrr61/wish/385498279 This biome sits at 50 - 60 degrees north latitiude. Yes, up here it does get decently cold, however, nothing like or close to how cold and frigid the poles get!]]> 2019-09-17 18:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gavinburch/il99zswbrr61/wish/385498279 Typical Animals and Plants gavinburch https://padlet.com/gavinburch/il99zswbrr61/wish/386040792 - The taiga biome is home to the Paper Birch which gets its name through its bark being thin and breakable into thin sheets.
