A broad band of mixed coniferous and deciduous trees that stretches across northern North America (and also Europe and Asia); its northernmost edge, the taiga, intergrades with the arctic tundra.
A biome dominated by coniferous forests and found in relatively high altitudes or latitudes, almost exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere.
A plant formation type associated with cold-temperate climates (cool summers and long winters). This is also known as either taiga or coniferous evergreen forest. The dominant plants are spruces, firs, larches and pines.
The circumpolar, sub arctic forest of high northern latitudes that is dominated by conifers. The boreal forest stretches across North America, Europe, and northern Asia (regions characterized by short summers and long, cold winters). It is found south of the tundra in the Northern Hemisphere and often contains peaty or swampy areas. Boreal forest. The circumpolar, sub arctic forest of high northern latitudes that is dominated by conifers. The boreal forest stretches across North America, Europe, and northern Asia (regions characterized by short summers and long, cold winters). It is found south of the tundra in the Northern Hemisphere and often contains peaty or swampy areas.
Predominantly coniferous, the boreal forest extends across Canada from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from the southern grasslands to the tundra. Characteristic species include White and Black spruce, Tamarack, Balsam Fir, and Jack Pine, with a mixture of broad-leaved trees such as aspen and poplar.
the circumpolar band of mostly coniferous forests extending across the subarctic latitudes of Russia, Scandinavia and North America.
known in the Old World as the taiga, it is the mostly coniferous forest (especially spruce, fir, hemlock and larch trees) that stretches from Southern and Central Canada all the way into Alaska and Newfoundland.
A forest made up mostly of conifers, such as that reaching across North America from Newfoundland to Alaska.
the largest and northernmost forest ecosystem in the world. In Alaska the boreal forest occurs predominantly in the interior and is characterized by spruce, aspen and birch tree species.
A northern forest, as in the boreal forest Biome, characterized by evergreen conifers and long winters. The boreal forest, also referred to as a Taiga, is found in the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.
One of the three main forest zones in the world located in northern regions and is characterized by the predominance of conifers.
The forest areas of the Northern North Temperate zone dominated by coniferous trees such as spruce, fir and pine.
The northern coniferous forest type.
High to mid-latitude biome dominated by coniferous forest. Predominant vegetation of this biome is various species of spruce, fir, pine, and cedars. Also called Taiga.
the forested region that adjoins the tundra along the arctic tree line, which has two main divisions: its northern portion is a belt of taiga or boreal woodland, while its southern portion is a belt of true forest, mainly conifers but with some hardwoods; on its southern boundary the boreal forest passes into “mixed forest” or “parkland,” prairie, or steppe, depending on the rainfall.
