The Boreal Forest is located in the Northern Hemisphere between latitudes 50o and 60o N where winters are long and cold. The Forest Forest is sometimes called Northern Coniferous Forest or, especially in northeastern Eurasia (Siberia), Taiga. Extensions of this biome are observed in the mountains, including the tropical ones. The Boreal Forest is relatively homogeneous and its characteristic way of life is the conifer, especially fir trees (Abies), pinabetes (Picea) and pine trees (Pinus). Lichens and mosses are an important component of this forest. Throughout the region there are swamps where Sphagnum, sedges, orchids and heather can be found.
Answer: If the global warming trend continues and permafrost under the tundra melts, the biome that would you predict would replace it is:
Boreal Forest
Explanation: A boreal forest is a vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in northern circumpolar forested regions characterized by long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation.
