The coniferous forest is located just south of the Tundra.
The coniferous forest is characterized by evergreen trees which do not lose their leaves.
Temperatures range from 14-58 degrees F.
Precipitation is 14-30 inches per year.
Wildlife in the taiga include The American Black Bear, Bald Eagle, Bobcat, Wolves, and Rabbits.
Vegetation in the taiga include large Jack Pine Trees, Spruce trees, Poplar trees, and many other woody plants.
Smaller vegetation is virtually nonexistent except for grasses and small shrubs.
Adaptations
Since the taiga is very cold, animals have thick fur coating to keep warm.
Also, many prey/predator animals change color during the winter to blend in to hide or hunt better.
Many species of songbirds and water fowl breed in the taiga in the spring and summer and then migrate south before the winter.
