🌲🌲🌲 The Boreal Forest Biome, often referred by its original Russian name as simply the Taiga. It is a sea of coniferous trees, stretching unbroken from coast to coast in the far north of our world. In this video on biogeography, we explore the taiga, what it is exactly, reveal the climate influences that make it this way, and where in the world it is found. 🌲🌲🌲

Only six tree families vie for contention here - four conifers (pine, larch, spruce, fir) and two deciduous species (birch and aspen), making it among the least biodiverse of all biomes.

The taiga dominates Alaska, Canada and Northern Scandinavia. In Russia it dominates Siberia across thousands of miles, and that country contains more of this biome than the other countries combined.
