This biome is located in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere and is in North America, Asia, and Europe. It stretches across Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia, spreading through the Northern Hemisphere.]]> 2016-10-07 03:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brianisaig/uijh2n9msr8/wish/129013018 brianisaig https://padlet.com/brianisaig/uijh2n9msr8/wish/129013163 The climate of the Taiga is very cold. Climate affects the composition of the soil making needles decompose slower, which makes rich soil develop more slowly. Temperatures can drop below - 60 degrees C (- 76 degrees F) in winter. Commonly weather rises above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) in the summer.]]> 2016-10-07 03:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brianisaig/uijh2n9msr8/wish/129013163 brianisaig https://padlet.com/brianisaig/uijh2n9msr8/wish/129013432 Not many plants can live in the Taiga due to harsh weather. Some plant life that does survive there are coniferous trees such as, pine, spruce, hemlock, and fir trees. Forestry is the worst threat to the plants. Other things that threaten them are forest fires, insects, and pesticides.]]> 2016-10-07 03:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brianisaig/uijh2n9msr8/wish/129013432 brianisaig https://padlet.com/brianisaig/uijh2n9msr8/wish/129013529 If you were to walk through the taiga you would see quite a few animals. Some of them might be the beaver, meadow vole, ermine, and the red fox. One of the less common animals you would see in the taiga is the Amur, or Siberian Tiger.]]> 2016-10-07 03:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brianisaig/uijh2n9msr8/wish/129013529
