Boreal comes from the
                                             Greek word meaning
                                                   NORTH.




                      Largest terrestrial
                       biome on earth


 Boreal forest or
taiga is a world of
 wood and water
 that covers over
11% of the Earth’s
    land area
Boreal forests are confined in the northern hemisphere. This extends from
 Scandavia, through European Russia, across Siberia, to central Africa and
     across central Canada in a band between 50° and 65° N latitude.
There is no comparable zone in the southern
 hemisphere, probably because there is little land
      area there with the proper climate (cold
 temperatures in the southern hemisphere being
 moderated by close proximity to the sea; at high
latitudes in the southern hemisphere most land is
 relatively close to the ocean, unlike the northern
hemisphere. Also, circulation of the oceans in the
    southern hemisphere is not blocked by the
 continental land masses to the same extent as it
                   is in the north.
Soil


                                             Low
                                           fertility


                                    Thin               Acidic



    Low temperatures and low pH impede decomposition of plant litter and slow the
rate of soil building.
   Nutrients are largely tied up in a thick layer of plant litter that carpets the forest
floor.
   Most trees in the boreal forest have a dense network of shallow roots that, along
with associated mycorrhizal fungi, tap directly into the nutrients bound up in this
litter layer.
   Topsoil which underlies the litter layer is thin.
   Subsoil in permanently frozen in a layer of permafrost that may be several meters
thick in boreal forests with extreme climates.
Adaptations
  Conical shape - promotes shedding of snow
        and prevents loss of branches.

 Needleleafs - narrow leaves reduce surface area through which water can be
  lost (transpired), especially in the winter when the frozen ground prevents
plants from replenishing their water supply. The needles of boreal conifers also
 have thick waxy coatings--a waterproof cuticle--in which stomata are sunken
                        and protected from drying winds.

Dark color - the dark green of spruce and fir needles
helps the foliage absorb maximum heat from the sun
   and begin photosynthesis as early as possible.
      Evergreen habit - retention of foliage allows plants to
   photosynthesize as soon as temperatures permit in spring,
  rather than having to waste time in the short growing season
                     merely growing leaves.
American Black Bear
Scientific Name: Ursus americanus
 The black bear's coat is well adapted to the cold weather of
 winter because of its many layers of shaggy fur. Its claws are
 also very adapted to its environment, this is because they are
 just the right length to climb the many trees that surround its
 forest home. This bear also hibernates to avoid having to find
 food in the winter.




Bobcat
Scientific Name: Felis rufus
 The bobcat has two color changes per year. The fur of the
 bobcat is striped, blotchy, and dense; tawny gray for t
 he winter and reddish brown for the summer. The baby
 bobcat has spotted fur that disappears when they get
 older.
Northern Lynx
                                   Scientific Name: Lynx canadensis
It has eyes that provide excellent vision for the night, and it's feet have fur
covered pads and are silent in the snow so it can sneak up on small prey. It isn't
very fast so it has to ambush an animal instead of chasing it down.
Wolverine
                         Scientific Name: Gulo luscus
                           The wolverine is powerfully built and is well adapted to
                           living in the cold. It has very strong jaws that can bite
                           through frozen meat and bone. Their feet also act as
                           snowshoes and keep them from sinking into deep snow.

The Taiga Biome is populated with special animals that all have
techniques of keeping warm and dry or away from the harsh coldness
of the Taiga.
Deforestation - Current extensive logging in boreal forests may
soon cause their disappearance.

Acid rain is also causing significant problems for the Taiga forests.
Acid rain is rain that is more acidic than normal.


                                     Global Warming - Biologists and
                                     scientists think temperature
                                     changes over the next century may
                                     occur at rates 15 to 50 times faster
                                     than historical averages.

  1. Custom animation effects: video wall picture change(Intermediate)Tip: For the best results with the effects on this slide, choose pictures that cover the entire slide area (7.5” high and 10” wide). To reproduce the picture, animation, and background effects on this slide, do the following:On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click Layout, and then clickBlank. Right-click the slide background area, and then click Format Background. In the Format Backgrounddialog box, in the left pane, click Fill. In the Fill pane, click Picture or texture fill, and then under Insert from, click File. In the Insert Picture dialog box, select a picture, and then click Insert.On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Picture. In the Insert Picture dialog box, select a second picture, and then click Insert.On the slide, select the second picture. Under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the bottom right corner of the Size group, click the Size and Position dialog box launcher. In the Size and Position dialog box, on the Size tab, resize or crop the picture as needed so that under Size and rotate, the Height box is set to 7.5” and the Width box is set to 10”. Resize the picture under Size and rotate by entering values into the Height and Width boxes. Crop the picture under Crop from by entering values into the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom boxes.On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Shapes, and then underRectangles click Rectangle(first option from the left).
