Detailed explanation-1: -Many kinds of animals have adapted to live in the cold, subarctic climate of the taiga. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most coniferous trees are evergreen and are specially adapted to survive in this biome. Evergreen trees are cone-shaped to help snow slide off them so the branches won’t break. The leaves or needles of evergreen trees lose less water than other kinds of leaves. This also helps them survive.

Detailed explanation-3: -taiga, also called boreal forest, biome (major life zone) of vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in northern circumpolar forested regions characterized by long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The jack pine lives in the taiga biome, which is a semi cold forest in the northern hemisphere. It is mostly found in the colder states and countries. Some examples are, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. The jack pine is plentiful in the wild. The jack pine adapts to flat or hilly areas that have sandy soil.
