Taiga is the Russian word for forest and is the largest biome in the world. It covers most of the entire northern hemisphere and extends from the Russian Steppes across the rest of Northern Asia and Northern Europe. It also extends across North America, mainly in Canada but also includes portions of the United States.
The Tiaga biome sits between the tundra biome and the temperate broadleaf forest biome. This biome is also known as the boreal forest.
The normal climate for this biome is very cold during the six months of winter, and during the summers, it is warm, and rainy.
In Summer the average temperature is 64 to 72 degrees F with high humidity
In Winter the average temperature is 0 to 14 degrees F with heavy snowfall
Average rainfall for this biome is 33 inches of rain every year
Often there is no cloud cover so temperature swings can be dramatic at night.
Both plants and animals are adapted to this biome to grow fast in the short summer months and have protective measures against the long cold winters.
