The taiga can be found in areas in the Northern Hemisphere. Some areas where taiga can be found include: Canada's Northwest Territory, Scandinavia, western Russia, British Columbia in Canada, Northern areas in North America, Ontario in Canada, Manitoba in Canada, northern parts in Eurasia, New Brunswick in Canada, Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park, Banff National Park in Canada, Denali National Park in Alaska, Verkhoyansk in Russia, and Hamilton Inlet in Labrador, Canada.

Winter's LOWEST temperature in taiga is -65°F. Winter's HIGHEST temperature is 30° F. Summer's LOWEST temperature is 30° F. Summer's HIGHEST temperature is 70° F. The temperature range, as you can see, is -65° F to 70°F (-54 to 21° C). For half of the year, the average temperature is below freezing. In the winter the average air temperature is warmer than it is for tundra, which lies north of the taiga.

Douglas-fir Douglas-firs are very big. They can grow from 40 to 60 feet tall and 15 to 25 feet wide. Because of this they are one of the most important lumber trees in the world. The wood is used as lumber, timbers, and plywood. The dense wood is very hard, stiff and durable.
