Detailed explanation-1: -Taiga has a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons. −20 °C (−4 °F) would be a typical winter day temperature and 18 °C (64 °F) an average summer day, but the long, cold winter is the dominant feature.
Detailed explanation-2: -The boreal forest has cold winters and warm summers. Typical temperatures range from 21 °C in summer to-54 °C in winter. The precipitation in this biome is moderate. It ranges from 200 to 600 mm per year.
Detailed explanation-3: -The coniferous forest biome is often considered to be cool and moist. Cold winters and cool summers caused by Arctic air masses are typical of the coniferous forest. Moisture levels are maintained by summer rains and heavy winter snows.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
