The Taiga/Coniferous Forest
The Coniferous Forest or in some places called the Taiga is located in the mountainous areas of North America, Europe and Asia. It has weak and non-fertile soil. Underneath the soil is a layer of permafrost which prevents water from passing through deep into the ground. This biome is mainly cold, it has short summers and long winters. The trees in the biome are able to adapt to cold weather such as, conifer trees. The animals in the biome are also able to adapt to the cold such as, moose, grizzly bears and wolves.
