2022年8月30日 · Known in Russia as the taiga, the boreal forest constitutes one of the largest biomes in the world, covering some 12 million square kilometres. Overlying formerly glaciated areas and areas of patchy permafrost on both continents, the forest is a mosaic of successional and subclimax plant communities sensitive to varying environmental conditions.

Taiga or tayga (/ ˈ t aɪ ɡ ə / TY-gə; Russian: тайга́, IPA:), also known as boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces, and larches. The taiga, or boreal forest, is the world's largest land biome. [1]

The boreal biome was delineated using the World Wildlife Fund terrestrial ecoregions map. This map was modified to add ecoregions of temperate coniferous and mixed forests characterized by similar seasonality and presence of winter snow cover.

2020年9月2日 · Forests at various latitudes and elevations create precisely diverse biomes: boreal, temperate, and tropical forests. Below is the forest atlas of the world of the main biomes of our planet.

2021年1月4日 · Also called boreal forests, the Taiga is divided into northern, central, and southern regions. Taiga forests belong to vast expanses of northern parts of Europe, Asia, and North America, along with the southern Rocky Mountains and Sierra alpine regions of the western US, the Japanese islands and the Pacific coast of North America.

The boreal biome is experiencing the highest rates of warming on the planet and increasing demand for forest products.

The Boreal forest cover found in Europe and Asia stretches from the east side of Siberia to the west of Scandinavia. The widest part of the forest measured from North to South is in Asia where it extends 3,000 kilometers.
