Taiga is a life zone of vegetation, composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees. It's a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas.
