The lichen gets nutrients from the dead matter on the tree, and the tree gets nutrients from the lichen. An example of commensalism in the taiga is a squirrel living in the hole of a tree. And an example of parasitism is Brainworms they are common in caribous in the taiga. The brainworms gain a place to lay their larvae, but this ends up killing the caribou.

The most common type of tree found in the taiga is the conifer, or cone-bearing tree. Conifers, also known as evergreens, include pines, spruces and firs.
HOW HAVE ANIMALS ADAPTED TO THE TAIGA ENVIRONMENT
Evergreens use a wide variety of physical adaptations. Some of these adaptations include their shape, leaf type, root system, and color.]]> 2019-04-25 19:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s1863568/uqwtgec5rq29/wish/354258964 s1863568 https://padlet.com/s1863568/uqwtgec5rq29/wish/354258965 Mammals living in the taiga include foxes, lynxes, bears, minks, squirrels, while larger ones include grey wolves and their preys: caribou, reindeer's and moose. In winter, wolves hunt these herbivores in packs, often dividing themselves into two groups to encircle their preys before attacking them.
HOW HAVE ANIMALS ADAPTED TO THE TAIGA ENVIRONMENT
Some animals have adapted to life in the taiga by hibernating when temperatures drop. Other animals have adapted to the extreme cold temperatures by producing a layer of insulating feathers or fur to protect them from the cold.]]> 2019-04-25 19:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s1863568/uqwtgec5rq29/wish/354258965 s1863568 https://padlet.com/s1863568/uqwtgec5rq29/wish/354258966 Taiga soil tends to be young and poor in nutrients. It lacks the deep, organically enriched profile present intemperate 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.

It is located right below the tundra biome. The taiga biome is also known as coniferous forest or boreal forest. This biome typically has short, wet summers and long, cold winters. Precipitation is moderate in the taiga. It gets plenty of snow during the winter and plenty of rainfall during the summer. boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces, and larches.  ]]> 2019-04-25 19:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s1863568/uqwtgec5rq29/wish/354258970 s1863568 https://padlet.com/s1863568/uqwtgec5rq29/wish/354277198 https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/taiga/
