Taiga is the word forest in Russian. Most of the Taiga forest biome stretches over Russia. The biome also covers a large lateral strip of North America, parts of Asia  and the southern strip of the Tundra

The taiga is found in the high northern latitudes, between the tundra, and the temperate forest, from about 50°N to 70°N, but with considerable regional variation

The Taiga is shown here as the darkest green ]]> 2018-05-16 15:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261271032 TYPES OF VEGETETATION marif_ma66 https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261278804  SPRUCE-A spruce is a tree of the genus Picea, a genus of about 35 species of coniferous evergreen trees in the family Pinaceae, found in the northern temperate and boreal regions of the Earth

PINE-An evergreen coniferous tree that has clusters of long needle-shaped leaves. Many kinds are grown for their soft timber, which is widely used for furniture and pulp, or for tar and turpentine

LARCH-A coniferous tree with bunches of deciduous bright green needles, found in cool regions of the northern hemisphere. It is grown for its tough timber and its resin (which yields turpentine)

FIR-An evergreen coniferous tree with upright cones and flat needle-shaped leaves, typically arranged in two rows. Firs are an important source of timber and resins]]> 2018-05-16 16:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261278804 marif_ma66 https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261284976 Different pines]]> 2018-05-16 16:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261284976 marif_ma66 https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261286146 2018-05-16 16:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261286146 marif_ma66 https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261287774 LARCHES turn yellow in the fall, they also go by the name TAMARACKS

Taiga soil tends to be young and poor in nutrients. It lacks the deep, organically enriched profile present in temperate deciduous forests. The thinness of the soil is due largely to the cold, which hinders the development of soil and the ease with which plants can use its nutrients]]> 2018-05-16 16:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/marif_ma66/oc3uojrv6g7v/wish/261295729
