Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Taiga is the world’s largest biome and has evergreen conifer trees such as spruce and fir. The Taiga has cold winters and short cool summers and coniferous needle like trees such as spruce and douglas fir.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The taiga is a conifer forest biome. It lies just south of the tundra biome. The taiga has long, cold winters and short, mild summers. It gets more rain than the tundra does, so it can support conifers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Taiga (/ˈtaɪɡə/; Russian: ́, Icelandic: barrskógabeltið; relates to Mongolic and Turkic languages), generally referred to in North America as a boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces, and larches.
