Taiga is the Russian word for forest and is the largest biome in the world. It stretches over Eurasia and North America. The taiga is located near the top of the world, just below the tundra biome. The winters in the taiga are very cold with only snowfall. The summers are warm, rainy, and humid. A lot of coniferous trees grow in the taiga. The taiga is also known as the boreal forest.The taiga doesn't have as many plant and animal species as the tropical or the deciduous forest biomes. It does have millions of insects in the summertime. Birds migrate there every year to nest and feed.
The average temperature is below freezing for six months. The winter temperature range -65 to 30° F. The winters are really cold, with lots of snow. Temperature range in the summer gets as low as 20° F. The high in summer can be 70° F. The summers are mostly warm, rainy and humid. They are also very short with about 50 to 100 snow free days.
The total precipitation in a year is 12 - 33 in. The precipitation comes in rain, snow and dew. Most of the precipitation in the taiga falls as rain in the summer.

The branches grow from the trunk at right angles, with the lower branches spreading to the ground when the tree grows in the open. In a dense stands, many of the lower branches are dead. It can grow to be a maximum of 200 years old.
Record Snowfall In One Day: 88 cm
Record Snowfall Overall: 1,140 In 1+ year(s)
Most Precipitation In One Day: 489+ mm k3
Highest Temperature Recorded: 77+ Degrees
