Taigas are found in high northern latitudes, between the tundra and temperate forest. The temperature of a taiga varies depending on the region, though the general temperature stays around 60 degrees Fahreinheit during the summer, and -4 degrees Fahreinheit during the winter.
The Taiga is the largest land biome, and in North America, covers most of inland Canada, Alaska, and some northern parts of the contiguous United States. Outside of North America, the taiga covers most of Russia, Sweden, Finland, Siberia, Norway, Estonia, some of the Scottish highlands, coastal areas of Iceland, and northern areas of Kazakhstan. In Asia, taigas can be found in northern Mongolia, as well as the Japan's northern island, Hokkaido.
Within North America, most of the nations geography is too warm for a taiga to exist. However, in some areas of New England, such as Maine and New Hampshire, the cold temperatures sustain such an environment. In Canada, the taiga spreads throughout the Northwestern territories, such as northern Alberta, northern Saskatchewan, and northwestern Manitoba.
