Taiga biome, also referred to as boreal forest, coniferous forest or snow forest, is a biome consisting mainly of coniferous trees such as pines, lurches, and spruces. It spans across Eurasia and North America. The taiga biome is situated near the top of the world, with tundra biome occurring just below it.

Taiga or tayga (/ ˈtaɪɡə / TY-gə; Russian: тайга́), also known as boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces, and larches. The taiga or boreal forest is the world's largest land biome.

The taiga is a forest biome located in the northern hemisphere. Also known as boreal forest, the taiga lies south of the Arctic tundra and north of the northern temperate forests. Covering around 11.5% of the Earth’s entire land area–that’s roughly 17 million sq. km / 6.6 million sq. miles–the taiga is Earth’s largest land biome.

Taigas, also called boreal forests or coniferous forests, are forests of dense evergreen trees that extend across North America, Europe, and Asia. They are the world's largest land biome.

The Boreal forest is the planet’s second largest biome stretching in unbroken pattern across Europe, Asia, and North America, and covers an extensive 20 million hectares. The forest is also referred to as Taiga or the snow forest and is mainly made up of coniferous forest and trees such as larches, spruces, birches, aspens, firs, and pines.
