What kind of a forest is the “taiga” and where does it grow?
It covers most of inland Alaska, Canada, Sweden, Finland, inland Norway, Highland Scotland and Russia (especially Siberia), as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States (Northern Minnesota, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Upstate New York, New Hampshire, and Maine), northern Kazakhstan and Japan (HokkaidÅ), the taiga is the world’s largest terrestrial biome. Although this biome is correctly named Taiga, the term Boreal forest is usually used to refer to the more southerly part of the biome, while the term Taiga is more often used to describe only the more barren northern areas of the Arctic tree line.
