THE TAIGA
The taiga isn,t a very well-known ecoregion, despite being the world,s largest. The region
encompasses most of northern Russia, Canada, The US and parts of Scandinavia and Japan. It
is characterized by dense pine forests and freshwater lakes, cold blustery winters and short
summers with moderate rainfall. Along Arctic and tundra regions, which are farther north and
typically have harsher, longer winter seasons, the taiga region generally experiences even
lower temperatures, going below -50 degrees Celsius, with the lowest recording being in
Russia. With such a punishing climate, it,s hard to believe that world,s largest congregation of
forests resides in this ecoregion. Because of its dense vegetation, a wide variety of flora and
fauna exist, including fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, several species of deer and thousands of
species of insects. Hundreds of thousands of people reside in this region, with the largest
cities being Arkhangelsk, Tobolsk, Yakutsk and the port city of Murmansk.
