  2. Boreal Climate • Usually the climate is warm, around 64 ° to 72 °F • In the winter, the temperature is around -14 °F • There is heavy snowfall in the months of winter. • For six months, the temperature in Taiga is below freezing.

  3. Boreal Plants • Not many plants live in the Taiga biome for the cause of harsh weather. • Unlike other biomes, Taiga has less diversity in plant life. • The most common tree is the conifer trees which is why the Taiga is referred to the coniferous forest.

  4. Boreal Animals • There are many animals that seem to adapt well to the biome. • Including the lynx, bobcat, and wolverine. • They feed on elk, deer, mice, rabbits, and squirrels. • Some of the animals change their fur to white in the winter to hide in the snow.

  5. Interesting Facts • Another name for the Boreal biome is the Taiga biome. • The warmest weather the Taiga has ever had in winter is 30 °F • Taiga is the Russian word for “forest” and is the largest land biome in the world. • A wildfire in the Taiga is good because it opens new area for more trees to grow.
