Today I have discovered a map of a large land mass... Its not the whole world I am looking at though, theres more to the picture. It's the colored part of the map I am looking at that puzzles me, why's it so far North? And what parts of the world does it effect? Is it an endangered part of the world, or is it the most inhabited? Im going to do research and find out more... Wish me luck.

Today I have found out a bit more information, this land mass is a biome. And in addition to being a biome, it is the LARGEST biome!

In the taiga, the average temperature is below freezing for six months of the year. The total yearly precipitation in the taiga is 12 - 33 inches (30 - 85 centimeters).

Okay so I seem to have remembered that a while ago I made the discovery that the earth is tilted on its axis.... Well ive made an observation, because of the tilt of the earth on its axis, in the taiga you'll find long nights in the winter and long days in the summer.

Let's talk decomposition.... Because of cool temperatures decomposition is slow in the taiga. Undecayed vegetation builds up on the forest floor, making it feel like a sponge. Since decomposition is slow, the soil is thin and lacking in nutrients. Trees grow taller where warmer temperatures allow for faster decompostion or by streams and rivers which carry nutrients from higher ground.

Sometimes I get so caught up in work I can't share my discoveries. Maybe I should take a short break from work and focus on research...

After 15 days off of work for doing research I have found many things out about the Taiga.
Lets start off with the climate-
The taiga climate is for the most part dominated by cold arctic air. Exceptionally cold winds bring bitterly cold air from the Arctic Circle: the temperatures fall even more on clear nights when there is no cloud cover. Because of earth's tilt, the taiga is turned away from the sun in the winter. Less of the sun's radiation reaches the ground to warm it up.
Winter, with it's freezing cold temperatures, lasts for six to seven months. Summer is a rainy, hot and short season in the taiga. Fall is the shortest season for taiga. Spring brings flowers, the frozen ponds melt, and the animals come out from hibernation.

Are you serious?! You didnt give all of the information you said you were going to!! Thanks, but ive got the rest of it right here:
Winter's LOWEST temperature in taiga is -65°F.
Winter's HIGHEST temperature is 30° F.
Summer's LOWEST temperature is 30° F.
Summer's HIGHEST temperature is 70° F. The temperature range, as you can see, is -65° F to 70°F (-54 to 21° C). For half of the year, the average temperature is below freezing. In the winter the average air temperature is warmer than it is for tundra, which lies north of the taiga.
Now that's some information you didnt even educate any one with!!

Dear Dr.Clue,
Yes. I realise that I did not reveal that information. Although, I was getting there. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Now, heres some of the information that I was trying to get to right before I was rudely interupted by a HUGE man eating bear that somehow got into my lair.
The taiga climate has an average annual rainfall of 12 - 33 inches (30 - 84 cm). Most of it falls in the summer as rain.
Thanks so much! -Dr. Storm

The taiga is found in these parts of the world:
Taiga forests extend from Scandinavia to the Pacific coast of Russia, crossing the northern part of Europe and Asia.

This subarctic region is bordered on the northern side by tundra and to a certain extent by steppes and some grasslands on the southern side. They are located between 50 degrees and 60 degrees north latitudes.
