  1. The Taiga Plant Life By: Robert Smith

  2. Environmental factors • There isn’t much sun in the taiga- not much variety in the plant life. • In the winter, the plants have to be able to survive in harsh, cold weather.

  3. 10 Plant Species(Plants with special descriptions or adaptations will be listed first) • Fir trees- Some release hormones that prevent the other trees from germinating. • Ferns- They release spores to reproduce. • Mosses- They don’t need much light to live. • Shrubs- They don’t need many resources at all to live. • Evergreens- They make up most of the taiga trees • Birches • Poplars • Aspens- They look like birches • hemlocks • spruces

  4. A Fir tree:

  5. Ferns in an Alaskan boreal forest (taiga):

  6. Most common moss in the boreal forests (taiga) zoomed in:

  7. Shrubs in the Taiga are very low to the ground compared to the trees:

  8. Evergreens are the dominant tree of the taiga:

  9. Birch trees are white, black, and have very high branches most of the time: Height of the first split of the branches in the tree:

  10. Poplar trees are very tall and are fast growers:

  11. Aspen trees may look like birch trees, but they are not:

  12. Hemlocks may look like evergreens at first glance, but when you look closer, you can tell that they aren’t:

  13. Spruce trees are all over in the taiga:
