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: -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: -The coniferous forest biome is usually called the taiga or boreal forest. This forest is dominated by large coniferous trees (trees that produce cones instead of flowers), such are pine, spruce, and fir.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tundra biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and treeless, frozen landscapes. There are two types of tundra, the arctic tundra and the alpine tundra.

Detailed explanation-5: -Coniferous Forest Biomes These areas-known as taigas or boreal forests-experience long, cold winters, short summers, and heavy precipitation. Within this biome, the primary vegetation types are conifers and evergreen trees.
