The taiga, also known as the boreal forest, is characterized by coniferous forests, such as pines, spruces, and firs, which dominate the landscape. It has low tree diversity compared to more temperate or tropical forests, and it does not have permafrost, which is a feature more typical of the tundra biome that lies further north.
