Abiotic Factors
Taiga climate dominated by cold air from the artic circle. Temperatures are colder during night due to no cloud cover. Winter has its freezing cold temperature that lasts for six long months. Summer is a hot, short, and rainy season. Fall comes to be the shortest of all seasons. Spring brings flowers, frozen ponds and lakes melt, and animal come out of hibernation and from the south to live once again to do it all over the next following year.
Soil Type
The soil type is thin, acidic, and not very nutrient it is also really rocky.
Temperature
The lowest winter temperatures are around -65 degrees Fahrenheit and the Highest winter temperatures are around 30 degrees Fahrenheit .The average temperature for winter is 26.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
During summer temperature are around 30 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit on up. The average summer temperature is over 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Temperatures range is -65 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit for most the year. Average. Temperatures are 32 degrees Fahrenheit per year.
Rainfall
The Average Rainfall for the Taiga climate is 12-33 inches. Most fall during the summer days of the year.
Location
Locations are most typical in the Northern Hemisphere, due to the Southern Hemisphere’s lack of land mass.
Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and China are most commonly known for a taiga culture.
Other
Characteristics
Taiga climate has short summers and long winters. Extreme weather changes are rapid. They change from Below freezing to well over hot. The latitude appears to 50-60 deg. North. Taiga is a forested biome dominated by cone bearing evergreen trees. It stretches across Northern Europe, Asia, and North America. Taiga is a mass plant community. Mountain ness with a cold climate. Taiga is a moist sub artic forest that begins where the tundra ends.rs

Biotic Factors
Plants
- •Balsam Fir-Main food supplies for moose in the winter, red squirrels eat the male buds, often used as a Christmas tree.
- •Black Spruce-many birds eat this plant seeds. Enjoys cold climates, able to survive in cold climates because of layered twigs, waxy pine needles, a rough bark.
- •Douglas-fir-bark gets thicker the older it gets, bears often scrap off the bark and eat the sap
- •Eastern Red Cedar-wood is very durable, contains an oil that repeals moths bark can be used for a reddish dye.
- •Jack Pine-pinecones produce the seeds, adapts to flat or hilly areas that have sandy soil
- •Paper Birch-the bark peels off like paper, used to make canoes for the Indians.
- •Siberian Spruce-has a wax water proof coat protecting it from dry winds.
- •White Fir-has sturdy branches and smells good, squirrels enjoy the seeds, porcupines like to nibble on the bark, and a great home for grouse.
- White Poplar-grow really fast but don’t live very long.
Animals
•Gray Wolf-survives in relatively cold weather, has padded paws for traction in the snow, very good senses, they live in a rock captivity or in a hole.
- •Bald Eagle-changes shape of their nest and can adapt to their diets.
- •Long-Eared Owl-Good ears for hunting, uses nests that are abandoned by other birds
- •Red Fox-Uses other animals Burrows.
- •River Otter-2 different types of fur, an outer coat that protects the inner coat of dense fur
- •Moose-have a thick coat during the winter
- •Canadian Lynx-feet have fur covered pads and very quiet while they hunt in the snow.
- •Fence Lizard-Shed their tail to distract the predator.
- •Snowshoe Rabbit-fur on the bottom of their feet for warmth and traction.
- •Wolverine-adapted to cold habitats, strong jaws to bite through frozen meat.
- •Black Bear-they survive the winters b/c of their thick fur and hibernating.
