Taiga
Introduction
The word taiga means, "marshy pine forest" in Russian. The taiga biome
is home to the most beautiful and clean forests in the world. Yet it is also one
of the most fragile biomes. Because of its northern location and cold weather,
only a small amount of specialized plants and animals are able to survive in this
biome. Spruce and fir trees in the taiga biome are a major part of its ecosystem.
If a large quantity of these trees were destroyed, for any reason, it would take
many centuries for them to grow back. This would possibly leave that location
vulnerable and uninhabitable to many of the taiga animals.
