Detailed explanation-1: -The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Taiga or coniferous forest zone occupies a wide belt between the tundra and the temperate forests on the American and Eurasian continents. It is characterized by short cool summers (but longer than in the tundra) and long, dry, cold winters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plant Adaptations in the Taiga Biome Needles will retain moisture and shed snow. The waxy coating on the tree needles prevents evaporation. The darkness of the needles helps to attract more sun. Many of the branches on evergreen trees droop down allowing the shedding of snow.
