11 Σεπ 2022 · Climate and Geography. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas. The world’s largest taiga can be found in Russia and runs for around 3,600 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Ural Mountains. During the most recent ice age, this taiga region was entirely glaciated.
What is the taiga? In this lesson, we are going to be learning about the climatic factors and location of the taiga. We will also learn about the flora and fauna that are present there.
Climate. The Taiga biome is situated close to the Arctic Circle which is the next major latitude above the Tropic of Cancer. The areas around this latitude are freezing cold. Moreover, there are cold winds that blow the cold Arctic air into the biome making it extremely cold through most of the year.
taiga, biome (major life zone) of vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in northern circumpolar forested regions characterized by long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation.
The taiga is a coniferous forest where the trees have needles or scales instead of leaves, and the seeds come in cone form. An example of this type of tree would be a pine tree. The taiga has very cold winters that last five to seven months.
