Presentation transcript:

The Taiga biome is the largest of the biomes in the world. It is located at the top of the world right bellow the Tundra biome and it spans across Eurasia and North America. During the winters it is very cold and lots of snow, summers on the other hand are warm, rainy, and humid. The trees and shrubs are mostly needle-leaved or scale-leaved, chiefly evergreen, or cone bearing plants. This Biome is also classified as the Boreal forest which came from the Greek goddess of the north wind.

During the summertime it has millions of insects and also has birds that migrate there every year to nest and feed. Although it doesn’t have as many plant and animal species as the tropical or deciduous forest biomes. The average temperature is bellow freezing for six months out of the year, the winters a very cold and have lots of snow.

The summers are mostly warm, rainy and humid they are also very short with approximately 50 to 100 frost free days. The total precipitation in a year is cm ( in). The forms the precipitation comes in are rain, snow and dew. Most of the precipitation in the taiga falls as rain in the summer.

The main seasons in the taiga are winter and summer. The spring and autumn are so short, you hardly know they exist. It is either hot and humid or very cold in the taiga.

There are not a lot of species of plants in the taiga because of the harsh conditions. Not many plants can survive the extreme cold of the taiga winter. There are some lichens and mosses, but most plants are coniferous trees like pine, white spruce, hemlock and douglas fir.

Animals of the taiga tend to be predators like the lynx and members of the weasel family like wolverines, bobcat, minks and ermine. They hunt herbivores like snowshoe rabbits, red squirrels and voles. Red deer, elk, and moose can be found in regions of the taiga where more deciduous trees grow. Many insect eating birds come to the taiga to breed. They leave when the breeding season is over. Seed eaters like finches and sparrows, and omnivorous birds like crows stay all year long.
