Here are some plants
The Balsam Fir
The Balsam Fir is the third most common tree of the Taiga. It is the tallest tree in the Boreal Forest and it grows 40-80 feet high. It is an over dominating species, with dark green needles, not leaves. Its needles keep it warm in winter and cool in summer.
Pine trees
Pine trees are very common trees. They are cone shaped and are green with needles. The shape of their needles lets less water evaporate. Fungi are a threat to pine trees. Pine trees are found in almost all other biomes.
Spruces
Spruces are the main trees in the Taiga. They are black and white and keep their needles for 15 years (longer than the fir tree). Spruces have majestic green colors. Insects are a main threat to the spruces. This type of tree is found in some other biomes. Its needles are more effective than leaves in this environment because they absorb water.
Taigas Enviromental Concerns
The Taiga is being destroyed everyday by both humans and nature. Nature causes forest fires with lighting, diseased by parasites or herbicides, and spruce trees that grow on top thick moss.Destruction of the Taiga is harmful to humans as well as animals and we need to save it! Forestry destroys the people of the Taiga's native culture; all memories are chopped down to make tissue and paper. We can stop this by planting trees and not using so much paper and using front and back!
