What is the Boreal Forest? Boreal means Northern. The Boreal forest is the forest in the north; almost like a continuous belt around the world Borealforest refers to the southern part of this biome, while taiga describes the more northern areas of the Arctic tree line. http://www.borealforest.org/world/images/world_boreal_forests.jpg SLW.

Type of plants ,[object Object],Conifer, Taiga, Pine, Fir, Spruce, Cedar, Redwood, and Larch. The conifer tree is a triangular shape. This allows the snow to build up on it’s branches, but the snow is able to slide off without damaging the tree Willows and Birches are strong enough to survive. Ganeri, Anita.

The Species of Animals ,[object Object], Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds and Insects. ,[object Object],Caribou has dense coats of hollow hairs provide great protection from the cold, and also help them stay afloat as they cross lakes and rivers. Wolves have excellent fur insulation, enabling them to hunt on the coldest days. Ptarmigan and Grouse grow thick layers of down. Cornish, Jim. Boreal Forest Animals.

The Types of Mammals ,[object Object]

Smaller mammals: the pine marten, red squirrel, beaver, snow shoe hare, weasel, mink, skunk, wolf, coyote and lynxSome boreal forest animals like Brown bears and black bears, marmots, and jumping mice avoid the challenges of winter by spending the cold season in hibernation.

Birds, Reptiles and Insects ,[object Object],Avoid the winter difficulties by migrating: they arrive in spring to nest and feed during the brief boreal summer, then go back toward the south in fall for better climates. ,[object Object]

But in wetlands there are salamanders and frogs are common

Wood frogs and many species of insects hibernate so deeply that their bodies actually freeze."Boreal Forest life." ADF&G. 7 Feb 2009 <http://www.wc.adfg.state.ak.us/index.cfm?adfg=ecosystems.boreallife>.
