Taiga

Taiga

Taiga is also one of the coldest biomes in the world. It is located in the northern part of the northern hemisphere.

The temperatures throughout the year range from -65 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

The average temperance for the taiga is 30-85 centimeters a year.

Due to the cold climate of the taiga, not many plants exist there other than plants like pine and white spruce. Spruce trees have leaves that retain heat, lose less water, and shed snow

Most of the animals of the taiga include predators like lynx, wolverines, and bobcats. They hunt down herbivores like rabbits, squirrels and voles. More lynx are born if food like the snowshoe rabbit is plentiful.

There are many wildfires in the taiga causing lack of food for all parts of its ecosystem.
