The large forested area found in parts of Canada and the USA is known as the Taiga or Boreal Forest. This biome is characterized by its coniferous forests, consisting mainly of pines, spruces, and firs. The Taiga extends across Canada and into Alaska and the northern parts of the contiguous United States. It plays a crucial role in carbon storage and supports various wildlife species, such as moose, lynx, and migratory birds. The Boreal Forest is vital for global climate regulation and is one of the largest terrestrial biomes on Earth.
