ʻO ka taiga kahi ʻano kūikawā o ka nahele coniferous i loaʻa ma ka ʻākau loa. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo taiga mai ka ʻōlelo Lūkini a ʻo ia hoʻi: paʻa, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻia, ka ululāʻau pinepine. Aia ka taiga ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau, no ka mea, ʻaʻole lawa ka ʻāina ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o kēia ʻāina. Paʻa ka lepo i ka taiga a puni ka makahiki ma nā wahi he nui, no laila he permafrost.
Aia ka taiga i loko o ka ʻāpana anuanu. Loaʻa nā hoʻoilo lōʻihi a anu ma ʻaneʻi me ka nui o ka hau. He pōkole ke kauwela, akā hiki ke wela loa i kekahi manawa. ʻO ka ʻāpana taiga nui loa e pili pono ana i ke ʻano ma ka palena ma waena o Kanada a me Alaska. Ma ʻEulopa, no ka laʻana, hiki ke loaʻa nā wahi taiga nui ma Suetena a me Finland. Aia ma ka ʻākau o ka taiga ka tundra.
Kapa ʻia ka taiga ʻo "Boreal coniferous forest". ʻO ia hoʻi, ma ka taiga ka nui o nā kumu coniferous e ulu i ka spruce, pine, fir, a me ka larch. ʻO ka mea nui kēia no ka mea he ʻōmaʻomaʻo mau nā conifers. Ma kēia ala, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana i ka liʻiliʻi o ka lā i loko o ka makahiki e hoʻokō i kā lākou photosynthesis. ʻO kēia mau lāʻau he ʻano lohi i hiki iā lākou ke lawe i ka hau ma nā lālā. ʻAʻole like lākou me ko mākou mau ululāʻau, no laila, nui ka lumi ma waena no nā kumu lāʻau, ʻoi aku ka blueberries, a me nā ʻōpala paʻa o ka moss a me ka lichen. Ma kekahi mau awawa muliwai, he mau wahi pulu. Hiki ke ulu i laila nā birches a me nā aspen, ʻo ia hoʻi nā lāʻau deciduous.
Nui nā mammals mai ka ʻohana marten e noho ana i ka taiga, me ka otter. He nui no hoi na reindeer, moose, iliohae, lynx, bea eleele, na alopeke ulaula, lapiti, beaver, squirrels, coyotes a me skunks, a me na mea mama e ae. Aia ma kahi o 300 mau ʻano manu like ʻole. Eia naʻe, he anu loa i ka taiga no nā amphibians a me nā mea kolo.
