taigas
Northern conifer belts
Taigas are vast subarctic forests dominated by coniferous trees—spruce, fir, pine, and larch—forming a band across northern Russia, Scandinavia, and North America.
The taiga is Earth's largest terrestrial biome, characterized by long, harsh winters and short growing seasons.
The wolves ranged across the Siberian taiga.
