In terms of geographic area, I am one of the largest biomes in the world. Spruces, pines, and other conifers are abundant across my landscape. Although I do not receive much precipitation, my soils are usually very moist because of pervasive permafrost. Which biome am I?

    Answer: Taiga/Boreal Forest

    Explanation:

    A boreal forest, also known as Taiga is found in the cold areas of the Northern hemisphere such as Alaska, Siberia and Russia. The largest of these forests is in Russia.

    The soil found in the Taiga usually contains permafrost, which prevents water draining from the soil and due to this, is wet and mossy although it looks like solid ground. The permafrost makes it possible for a Taiga to sustain a wide range of pines and conifers despite the reduced precipitation.

    Animals which have adapted to the cold climate are also abundant in this biome and range from bears to lynx, moose and a variety of birds.
