The boreal forest, also known as taiga, is a cold biome found between 50° and 60° north latitude, characterized by shallow-rooted trees and harsh winters.
Boreal forests have cold, dry winters and short, cool, wet summers with annual precipitation ranging from 40 cm to 100 cm, mostly in the form of snow. Trees in this biome are typically shallow-rooted due to poor soils and rocky conditions.
The taiga is considered an ecotone between the northern coniferous forest and tundra vegetation, characterized by low-growing conifers. Historically, the boreal forests of North America and Europe have been significant timber resources.
