Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas. In Russia, the world's largest taiga stretches about 5,800 kilometers (3,600 miles), from the Pacific Ocean to the Ural Mountains.]]> 2022-04-14 13:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/8872843146/Bookmarks/wish/2143841296 6196455141 https://padlet.com/8872843146/Bookmarks/wish/2143850430 taiga can be as low as -76°F (-60°C). In the summer the temperature can reach as high as 104°F (40°C). The major type of vegetation in the taiga biome are coniferous evergreens. Needles on evergreen trees of the taiga are thin, wax-covered and they do not fall off in the fall.]]> 2022-04-14 13:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/8872843146/Bookmarks/wish/2143850430 6196455141 https://padlet.com/8872843146/Bookmarks/wish/2143852165 Yearly rainfall in taiga is 38–85 cm (15–33 in.)

These trees include spruce, pine, cedar, and fir trees. They grow close together forming a canopy over the land, like an umbrella. This canopy soaks up the sun and only lets a little bit of sunlight through to the ground.
