Taiga Biome Essay By: Sam Kim and Kaelan Book Introduction to the Taiga The Taiga biome is the largest terrestrial biome. It is a vast forest that includes heavy snow‚ as well as a variety of different animals. This biome can be found in Alaska‚ Canada‚ as well as many places more. The geography of the Taiga has poor soil‚ tall trees‚ and is followed by the Tundra as well as the Permanent Ice caps. This terrestrial biome has both abiotic and biotic factors that can sustain an ecosystem. Sense the

The loss of species will harm human and threat to human progress scientific studies can help prevent such loss. Also there are medical reasons as well‚ certain species on plants help to process opiates insulin and proteins to treat diseases. We should strive to continue the

Biomes: What is a biome? Biomes are regions of the world with similar climate (weather‚ temperature)‚ animals and plants. There are terrestrial biomes (land) and aquatic biomes (water). Biome Tundra: Location- Regions south of the ice caps in the Arctic. In North America‚ Northern Europe and Asia. Climate- Short cool summers and long freezing cold winters. High winds. Adaptions- Thick fur to survive during winter and found places to hibernate during winter. Plants- Lichens mosses

ever heard of ‘coniferous forest’? Now‚ I am going to talk about the interesting facts about the coniferous forest (also called ’taiga’ or ’boreal forest’). The coniferous forest is mainly in the northern hemisphere‚ and some in the southern hemisphere. It is mostly in North America (US)‚ Canada‚ Europe and Asia. The coniferous forests are usually in cold places. Did you know that the average temperature in the coniferous forest is below freezing? In the coniferous forest‚ winter and summer are the

Savanna The savanna is a tropical biome monopolized by grasses‚ shrubs‚ and small trees. It’s grassland cover western India‚ northern Australia‚ South America‚ and other parts in Africa. In this biome it is very warm‚ there is little precipitation so there is not a lot of tall trees more like shrubs and bushes. A savanna is categorized between a tropical rainforest and a desert biome it is right in the middle of them. Savannas are created when humans burn grasslands and cut down trees kind of

Savannas are associated with several types of biomes. Savannas are frequently in a traditional zone between forest and desert or grassland. The Savanna covers approximately 20% of the earth’s area.
