It is located below the Tundra and can be called the Boreal forest or the Coniferous forest. This biome is not very diverse, it is full of small smaller mammals and a few larger herbivores such as elk. The plants in this biome is mostly bushes, shrubs and trees, nothing to out of the ordinary or diverse. ]]> 2019-09-17 13:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/385271191 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/385284083 The Taiga's climate is made up of four seasons, winter, spring, fall and summer but the only one that comes and stays for a long time is winter and the other seasons take up about five months. Their summers can be short and wet and the winters are long and cold. The average temperature of the Taigas summers is 20 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit and in the winter time it is around negative 65 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The climate of this biome is dominated by the cold and little rainfall. Taiga gets around 12-33 in of rain a year and most of it falls in the summer time. ]]> 2019-09-17 13:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/385284083 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/385292743 https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/experiments/biome/graphs.php These graphs show how much average rain and the average temperature the Taiga biome gets in Canada.

You will also find larger herbivores such as deer and elk. Most of the plants you might find are different kind of trees an d shrubs. The Taiga is not very diverse and is not full of many kind of organisms. The Taiga is known as a forest but it is just colder than most forest are.  It can also be known to have migratory birds every year.]]> 2019-09-19 01:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386309902 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386310879 Grass]]> 2019-09-19 01:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386310879 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311142 Deer]]> 2019-09-19 01:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311142 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311498 Elk]]> 2019-09-19 01:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311498 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311668 Wolves ]]> 2019-09-19 01:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311668 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311825 Ants ]]> 2019-09-19 01:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386311825 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386312552 Squirrel]]> 2019-09-19 01:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386312552 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386314533 Hawk]]> 2019-09-19 01:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386314533 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386321689 Grizzly bear-  Grizzly bears are well adapted to the Taiga. They are located in northwestern Canadian tundra. They can stand on their back legs and will stand up to 3 and 1/2 feet tall and they can weigh on an average of 704 lbs. They have adapted to the cold climate of the tundra by having thick coats of hair and layers of fat to keep them isolated. They mostly live off of plants but some may eat insects and honey.
Bobcat- Most bobcats live in forest but some may be found in deserts. Bobcats are around 30 to 40 lbs. Their fur coats change based on the season, in winter their coats are striped, dense and gray then for the summer they are more of a reddish brown color. Bobcats have really long sharp teeth to make it easier when killing prey. Bobcats run really fast which makes it easier to hunt down their prey. They are mostly predators not prey.

They have sharp needles and short branches that are usually layered. Most birds will feed off of these trees. The seeds that grow on this tree gives animals a lot of nutrients. Many of these trees are cut down and used to build houses because of how strong the wood is. 
Douglas fur- Douglas furs grow really big they can grow up to 40 to 60 ft tall. Animals love to feed off of these trees in the early springs and winters. These trees are very tough and durable and can withstand harsh conditions. They are covered in very sharp needles that are flat with a pointed tip. They change from green to a grey color once they are mature.  ]]> 2019-09-19 13:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386564676 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386572784 2019-09-19 13:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386572784 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386573281 2019-09-19 13:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386573281 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386573657 2019-09-19 13:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/386573657 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387340835 2019-09-20 17:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387340835 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387341358 2019-09-20 17:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387341358 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387343165 2019-09-20 17:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387343165 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387343719 2019-09-20 17:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387343719 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387344488 Producers have all of the energy and most biomass]]> 2019-09-20 17:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387344488 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387345951 Primary consumers get 10% of the energy from the producers.]]> 2019-09-20 17:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387345951 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387346923 Secondary consumers only get .1% of the energy from the producers since it is high up in the trophic pyramid.]]> 2019-09-20 17:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387346923 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387348223 The tertiary consumer only gets a small portion of energy from the producers because they are primarily at the top of the pyramid. ]]> 2019-09-20 17:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387348223 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387349973 Deforestation- This becoming a huge threat to the Taiga biome. They are cutting down the trees that way they can have wood for paper, timber and to clear out for urbanization. When cutting down trees they are ruining animals habitats and the biome in it's self. Even though laws have been passed to prevent this situation illegal logging is still being done.  This will effect the whole climate of the biome and it effects the organisms living in it. ]]> 2019-09-20 17:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387349973 caitlinkey1 https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387371998 2019-09-20 18:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinkey1/k4sqi0be100i/wish/387371998
