A. The taiga is a type of forest. It is the largest ecosystem on the Earth. The largest taiga forest covers much of northern Russia and Siberia. Other major taiga forests include North America (Canada and Alaska) and Scandinavia. The taiga is the driest and coldest type of forests.

B. Long, cold winters, and short, mild, wet summers are typical of this region. In Winter, chilly winds from the Arctic bring bitterly cold weather in the taiga. The length of a day also varies with the seasons. Winter days are short, while summer days are long. Fires are also usual here in summer.

C. Compared to other ecosystems, the taiga has less variety in plant life. The most common type of trees in the taiga is the pine. There may also occasionally be oaks and birches. The ground in the taiga is thin and not very rich. It is also rocky. With long winters and short summers, plants don’t have a lot of time to grow in the taiga. The growing season only lasts or around three months.

D. The cold climate of the taiga makes it a difficult place for many animals to live. The animals of the taiga must be able to survive cold winters. Many have thick fur to keep them warm. Others migrate to warmer areas in chilly winters. Animal populations are mainly seed-eating like squirrels and larger animals such as deer, elk, and snowshoe hare. They have large feet to allow them to walk on snow without sinking.

E. Taiga is a Russian word meaning forest. It is interesting that many years ago the taiga was covered with ice. The occasional fire is good for the taiga as it opens up area for new growth. This area is endangered and becoming smaller due to deforestation.
