What Plants are Found in the Taiga and What Adaptations Do They Need to Survive?
There are mostly coniferous (evergreen) trees in the taiga biome. There are also broadleaf trees, lichens, and mosses. Not many low plants grow in the taiga because the tall trees cover all the area for sunlight to even reach the ground.
Some adaptations that the plants have are that because everything tends to be thin, so they grow together to get protection from the cold and the wind. Evergreens are also usually shaped like an upside down cone to protect the branches from breaking under all the snow. The snow could then fall of the branches. Trees have adapted to the fact that taiga can easily get many wildfires by growing thick bark.
