Boreal(taiga) ForestBy Nicolas de Levay

Boreal Forest location

Boreal Forest are located in Canada, Russian, Sweden, Norway and Finland.As you can see Boreal Forests are also located in cold environments around the world. the Taiga forest is one of the biggest forests in the world.

Temperature

The Average temperature in the Boreal forest in winter is around negative 54 degrees Celsius to negative 1 degree Celsius Summer time in the Taiga is around 21 degrees Celsius the lowest it can get is negative 7 degrees Celsius forest are short and cold.

Biotic Animals 1 Grizzly bear: Grizzly bears have fur So they can

adapted to cold weather very easily and can use their fur from being warm. Grizzly bears are like brown bears.

Spruce grouse Falcipennis Canadensis: the spruce is an animal that is a type of bird that can adapt to cold weather.

Elk: Elks can adapt to cold weather because they have fur and are used to the cold weather

Biotic Animals 2Amur tiger: the Amur tiger is a tiger that can

adapt to cold weather and like many animals in the taiga forest it is used to the cold weather and has fur.

Porcupine: As you can see in the picture the porcupine is an animal that has black fur or skin. If it is sunny the porcupine can get more heat then any other animal.

Biotic PlantsMoss: moss is an important

nutrition in the food chain of the taiga

Lichen: the lichen is a type of food for animals in the taiga forest.

Fir tree: a fir tree is a tree that is similar to the pine tree accept it can be a bit taller. A fir tree can not be frozen even thought there might be strong cold winds.

Biotic plants 2

Pine cones: pine cones are a type of plant that can open a closed pine cone looks like that and an open one when its fully grown it looks like that • The giant sequoia is a really big

and tall tree it is one of the biggest trees in the world and is home to many species. Many species live in the giant sequoia the tree can adapt to strong snowy winds because it is big and strong to take down.

Abiotic

Soil

Weather temperature.

Rocks

Dead leaves

Cooler and moister

How Humans Affected this Biome?

Humans have effected this biome by polluting the earth and wasting energy. and by chopping down trees. By Polluting it changes temperature due to global warming. And Hunting because it can affect the food chain.

What can Be done to fix It?

We stop wasting energy and saving energy so it would not effect the taiga forests that much and stop cutting down trees because then the animals living in those trees would have to find somewhere else to live and finally to stop hunting because it can affect the food chain.
