Taiga
Facts
 In
the taiga, the average temperature is below freezing for six months of
the year. Total yearly precipitation in the taiga is 12 - 33 inches (30
- 85 centimeters). Although the cold winters have some snowfall, most of
the precipitation comes during the warm, humid summer months.
Because of the tilt of the earth on its axis, in the taiga you'll find long nights in the winter and long days in the summer. During the summer months, the taiga fills up with millions of insects. Birds, who eat insects, migrate every year for the plentiful food supply. The taiga is prone to wildfires. Many trees have adapted to this by growing thick bark, which can protect a tree from a mild fire. Decomposition
