OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Boreal forests are only found in the northern hemisphere of Earth, mainly between latitudes 50° and 60° N. With short, cool summers and long, cold winters, these forests form an almost contiguous belt around the Earth, sandwiched between temperate deciduous forests to the south and tundra to the north.

Detailed explanation-2: -Taiga, also known as the boreal forest, is a type of vegetation found in northern circumpolar forested regions that consists primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees and is characterised by long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is over 1, 000 kilometres (620 mi) in width (north to south) separating the arctic tundra region from the various landscapes of southern Canada. The taiga growth (as defined in North America) along the northern flank of the boreal forest creates a transition to the tundra region at the northern tree line.

Detailed explanation-4: -The boreal zone is the wide area that lies between the treeless tundra of the arctic zone in northern Canada and the temperate zone in southern Canada. The boreal forest is the forested area within the larger boreal zone.
