Wikipedia: Taiga is a biome characterized by coniferous forests. Covering most of the inlands Canada, Alaska, Sweden, Finland, inland Norway, the Scottish Highlands and Russia, as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States, northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan, the taiga is the world's largest terrestrial biome. Although this biome is correctly named Taiga, the term Boreal forest is usually used to refer to the more southerly part of the biome, while the term Taiga is more often used to describe only the more barren northern areas of the Arctic tree line.
