(A1) Evergreen coniferous forests are also often called boreal forests and taigas (A2). Taiga is the Russian word for forest, and the taiga biome is the largest biome on the planet. Boreal forests stretch across the northern parts of North America and Eurasia, and they are usually found below tundras. These areas have such short Autumn and Spring seasons, because they are so far North, that these seasons hardly even exist. This makes it so that it is almost always either hot and humid or extremely cold in the evergreen coniferous forests. Precipitation ranges from 30-85 cm/year (A3). Most of this precipitation comes in the form of rain, but in some places, during the winter, when it snows, young trees become covered with snow, which actually protects them from harsh cold and dehydration (A2).
