@@Geodiode "Established just outside Narsarsuaq in 1954 when arborists became aware that it wasn’t Greenland’s soil that had prevented forestation from taking place, Arboretum Groenlandicum began as a place for species of trees native to the country to be given a fresh shot a life in a new locale. But once they got started, scientists figured why stop there? The experiment at Narsarsuaq became a sort of scientific articulation of the theory “if you build it, they will come,” testing the limits of cultivating an effective, natural, yet wholly fabricated forest environment. What resulted was a small forest that’s about as technicolor (for an arctic pine forest) as any on the planet. Over the following decades, saplings and seeds of boreal trees and shrubs were borrowed from all over the northern hemisphere. And by the dawn of the new millennia, the greenery at Arboretum Groenlandicum was thriving. Within its nearly 500 acres lived nearly all the subarctic and northern subalpine tree-line species found in the Northern Hemisphere, including species like lodgepole pine commonly associated with the American Rocky Mountains, Siberian larch, Norwegian spruces, Scots pine, Himalaya birch, a diverse assortment of broadleaved trees, and many more." www.atlasobscura.com/places/arboretum-groenlandicum "Besides the collection expeditions, planting have continued in Narsarsuaq of Siberian larch, especially of the Arkhangelsk provenance in Russia, delivered from Iceland. In all 75,000 small plants of Siberian larch have been planted in the Greenland Arboretum form 1992-2002. The most suitable planting locations in Greenland are deep in the fjords, sheltered from the foehn winds and in areas where trees can be helped to establish by native brushwood which improves the local climate. Areas should be free of sheep or fenced in. A nursery has been established at the research station at Upernaviarssuk (10 km from Julianehåb) by the local forestry officer, Poul Bjerge. It was here that plants were produced earlier, but during the later years plants have been primarily delivered from the Arboretum in Hørsholm, Denmark, Iceland and northern Norway or dug up as small seedlings at diverse tree-line areas." ign.ku.dk/english/about/arboreta/arboretum-greenland/forest-plantations/
Taiga is actually my fav biome. I feel like its so calming yet mysterious. I really wanna live in one with a wooden cabin. Just imagine when it foggs and rain. You just light up the fireplace while drinking warm tea. Also looking trough the window that's covered with raindrops.
Lembre-se de manter a manutenção do aquecedor em dia, um bom estoque de alimentos durante o inverno. O sol não costuma ficar mais que três ou quatro horas no céu nesse época e, dada a distância da civilização, você estará a um azar da vida eterna.
I've lived in this biome all my life and relatively remote places as well. It's hard to describe the feeling of standing in the forest at winter night and hear nothing but blood rushing in your ears.
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of wolves, not tigers, except for Siberian tigers, very, very rare. Wolves aka grey wolves and timber wolves are more common. Just don't bring your dog to the boreal forest, wolves prey on them. I know.@@polapusta7467
@@sakil8272 Yes but most of them are completely harmless, bear is technically the only danger and even that will attack only if agitated, which is rare.
I had a trip to Yukon territory of Canada after border was just opened for travellers. In general, Taiga forest ends at higher elevation when alpine tundra appear. Or you go to far North, when the colder weather is appearing, the Taiga forest is ending as well. I will have a book chapter publishing, in 2021. [Implement and Analysis of Current Ecosystem classification in Western Utah of United States & Yukon Territory of Canada]
I really enjoy your videos they seem well researched and I like the calm presentation and letting the images and videos speak for themselves very zen and meditative. I always get excited when I see a new one pops up.
I was wondering why the land bordering the Gulf of Riga wasn't included in the temperate forest video, and now I see it turns out to be taiga! It makes sense, the footage in this video is very familiar. I've had the pleasure of visiting different kinds of taiga too, from the Southern reaches kind to the mountains in Norway with its shrunken trees and incredible mosses. Mushroom hunting is also a fun activity to do around here!
Fun fact: The high elevations of the Smoky Mountains have this climate, and boreal trees here are unique due to their isolation and elevation. This is also probably the only boreal forest I've visited but the climatic conditions are very similar. Fraser firs are probably my favorite evergreen boreal tree too.
@@Geodiode Yeah you're right, I've only been there in the summer. The summers are mild (20 celsius max in the highest elevations), I think the reason the forests transition to conifers above 5000 feet is because of a cooler temperature range it requires, not just lowest possible temperatures you can get in the winter. I think that's what separates it from a subarctic type climate.
Why does everyone say the Amazon is the biggest Forest in the world. In fact you don’t even see the Taiga in top 10 biggest forests lists. Yet the Taiga is three times the size of the Amazon.
The taiga looks so comfy, I'm from a tropical area and I really want to move to canada to live in areas near these forests, I'd probably be visiting the forests a lot
Just make sure to stay on the trails. The wilder parts of the forests are beautiful but extremely difficult terrain. I live in a remote part of Canada and hunt regularly. I stay close to the trails and dirt roads, because it's really easy to get tur Ed around and lost.
@speakingwithoutnet I live in the Appalachian region of Canada and I think you're right but this applies to any vast/dense mountainous forests. Ive been to costa rica and the lush jungle is also nothing to take lightly!
These woods are so big you could live out there and NOBODY will ever find you. The search area is over hundreds of square miles. The only way one MIGHT FIND YOU is if a forest ranger spots smoke or if he was by a bright light at night. IF you had night vision goggles at night it would be quite an advantage where you can spot anything in the dark. A good compass to help yourself navigate in the woods. Be careful of bigfoot because sometimes he gets hungry.
Yep, well there are parts of Siberia that are just so remote that I don't think even smoke from a fire could save you. And for much of it, it's swampy ground so when the weather has not frozen the ground, they couldn't get to you except maybe by helicopter
I live in Yakutsk, and sometimes I go out of the city to get some air in the forest. the feeling that there is a forest wall in front of you for several hundred kilometres is little scary!
it's a shame that recently there was a huge fire in the Yakut taiga, so many trees were damaged, but they have already started to grow again, I hope that they will grow soon
Nice video! Our english teacher said to us to rewatch it and make a presentation with 7 new words for us, but thankfully, I already know all of the words that were used in this amazing and educational video, so I'll make my presentation on fnaf lore. 110/10 would watch again
Don’t forget one of the most common plants here in the taiga swamps, the carnivourus sundew plant which catches insects with it’s sticky dew and long tentacles.
I lived in the taiga and loved it, loved the climate. Dont have to deal with deadly bugs. I know in Northern Labrador, right at the tree line. the Only types of trees that can survive are Black and White spruce, Tamarack or even the Siberian kind tends to struggle, the stronger winds tend to make the climate harsher than Yakutia.
This week i became addicted to your channel and binge watched every video. I just want to say thank you for your phenomenal content. When i was 5 years old, instead of watching cartoons, i was watching the weather channel lol So clearly climate and geography are huges interest of mine and there is no content like this on youtube. I'm always researching about climate & weather especially in Greece and the rest of the Balkans. So I just want to say thank you for all of your effort, and it is truly appreciated and has made such a huge impact on me. It inspires me to continue learning, and has taught me so much about climate, biomes and phenomena that I wasn't familiar with!! Also specifically on the taiga, this is one of my favourite biomes because the extreme conditions have always fascinated me and i find the forests to be so beautiful. Interestingly enough, (I think) Greece has boreal forests in mountainous areas. For instance Elatia forest is a a very important forest in Greece where the Norway Spruce reaches its furthest south point. Its a stunning forest in a relatively unknown part of Greece. Its always funny for me because my friends see Greece as a strictly Mediterranean country so they get very surprised when they here of -25 degree cold, and the many micro-climates that exist in the mountains.
@@Geodiode Thanks for your response. the tourists are really missing out on the authenticity and natural beauty of the Greek mainland/inland. But i guess that's a good thing because these lovely areas will hopefully remain relatively untouched as hidden gems. Enough has already been deforested & tampered with. I was so fascinated when you discussed tree growth. I didn''t realise that temperature is just as important as important as rainfall. The fact that areas with Taiga forest have the same annual rainfall as desert areas. wow. I really enjoyed the "Temperate Forests" episode. so much detail. I look forward to new videos. The best channel on youtube! I was showing my family members your video on the Asian Monsoon, especially with Super Cyclone Amphan just hitting India and Bangladesh
I wish minecraft had a HUGE update(probably optional) where biomes had at least 20 animals, at least 5 types of trees, and hut like villages in places. Also increased build height by a couple hundred blocks
Remember that regardless of the darkness of a plant's leaves, the solar energy which reaches them does not translate into a temperature increase - have you ever touched a plant's leaves and felt that they were hot? Plants absorb the energy of the sun to photosynthesize, producing sugars, cellulose and lignin.
Interesting concept! Maybe one could measure factors such as light reflection, photosynthetic absorption and efficiency. I suggest we need a ratio of leaf area solar flux/photosynthetic output (sugars, cellulose and lignin). Considering the efficiency of photosynthesis and that leaves radiate heat (think black body radiation) very close the the rate they absorb heat, i.e., compare a leaf that photosynthesizes vs. one that does not with all other variable being equal, why would be much temperature difference? Simply, compare a functional conifer leaf to a tooth pick with the same area, orientation, solar flux, and color…what 's the difference in temperature?

Lovely video! I appreciate that such effective use was made of some photos I recall very fondly taking during a whitewater rafting trip down the Firth River in Canada's Ivvavik National Park (7:25-40) One possible, dare I say, correction I could offer: The tree we see behind "FIR" looks an awful lot like a spruce to me ... firs have flat needles (like balsam firs, the most common and popular Christmas tree), while spruce have round sharp-tipped ones like the ones on the tree shown.
@@jalululan4731 ... and the mosquitoes, and the bitterly cold winters. Haha! But yes, if you want isolation, then I can't think of anywhere else on earth where you could do it so remotely, and yet still live off the land.

A taiga can stand out so sharply from other biomes that there can even be a steppe in the middle of it! For example, the Kungur island forest-steppe. A combination of the mystery and majesty of the taiga with a grand scale and heartwarming vibe of the hill grasslands. Very beautiful!
@@Geodiode It's called island steppe because it's isolated from the main steppe, but yeah. Btw, kungur steppe is not alone, there's also an isolated forest-steppe in the near Bashkortostan, just to the east from Ufa Plateau (big, curved area of hills and forests if you look on the map). This is how hills and mountains influence the climate, I guess.
my children asked cute thing... is this where Santa Claus lived in ? in the Taiga full of Christmas tree so i showed this video and educate them , no Santa house is noted
- Taiga is not russian word throught it came throught russian. It means mountains in Altai languages. - The word is accuarate as taiga (in hotter geological eras) originated in mountains. - Siberian cedar pine is worth mentioning as these produce pine nuts. - Cranberies, mushrooms, dewberies are worth mentioning, too. - Still taiga is human influenced. Original had richer understory plant communities than just mosses. - Oxigen (and CO2 sink) depends on taiga. In tropics growth soon are decomposed back to CO2. - It is magnificant! (Maybe not the best place to live) - I love coastal pines.
I enjoy your videos and your vids are great! If you know that I am cold adapted and my favorite biome( even though it's close with the temperate forests) And planning if i can travel going to the taiga biome twice ,first one in lichen woodland
A few stories out there on (human) life in this biome; maybe the most famous is that of *Agafia,* born in 1944. Search YT for one of the numerous films about her (and how she acquired assistance through them). "Reindeer herders" will find some good vids as well. A friend of mine visiting someone he knew who was a reindeer herder talks about the black cloud of biting flies they move in during the very short breeding season. I can deal with the cold of northern forests. But not those damned flies and the even worse mosquitoes. ["What do they live on when they can't get hobbit?"]
A good question, which I believe I answered in the "Continental" climate video - namely, there are insufficiently large masses of land away from the oceans to produce especially cold winter temperatures. Antarctica is the exception - and watch the "Icecap" video" for an explanation of that.
Where for the God's sake you found an information "Only about 0.1% of the Siberian Taiga is logged annually" ??? Did you ever seen Google Maps and Siberian forests on it?? LIARS!
Taiga literally doesn't mean "land of the little sticks". Moreover, the origin of that word is not Slavic or Russian. It's a Turkic word and it meant "rocky hills".

Monty python's flying circus did not help me to identify tamaracks as a species of larch. Very disappointing. Never knew they were larches. We have them here in Michigan, they're not super common like firs, maples, juniper and oak, but when i do see them i always stop to consider what fire brought them to life.
I wrote to John Cleese to complain about the vagueness of his tree identification system. He never responded. (Just kidding... glad you spotted the reference!)
This the source of most of the worlds softwood, used in paper, cardboard and furniture. In countries like Sweden and Finland this is big business, with good infrastructure and for the biome fairly mild weather allows for easy and safe transport, while re-growth is faster then in NA and Eurasia. In southern Sweden re-growth is about ~25 years(used more for woodworks and furniture) and in the north and in Finland it's about 30-35 years(used more for paper products). Even though Sweden increases use of the forest every year the combined mass of wood keep increasing annually, new fast growing trees are planted and warming of the area is part of the reason.
@@Geodiode I know in Sweden spruce(mostly Norwegian) made up 41% of the industry and pine trees 39%. Pine is better for wood planks so it's more popular in the south (Småland etc), while spruce and paper dominate in the north (Lappland etc). There is also a growing industry of what we call "noble trees", oak and beech and the like, it's all going to kitchen interiors and high-end Scandinavian furniture. This mostly in the very south with similar climate to western Europe. I love driving here as a short drive will move you to different types of forest depending on the owners. Some are zone pushers, others don't care and have untouched forest, many are a bit boring and efficient, optimized to for the forest industry. Also in the forest are pockets of human culture, next to lakes and rivers are usually first rich clay soil perfect for farming, then meadows with old oaks here and there, slowly and increasing is the amounts of rocks sticking up in the grass until the forest begins again. The ice age really did a number on us.
Now humans are planting tiny taiga forests in South Grenland due to global warming.

One possible, dare I say, correction I could offer: The tree we see behind "FIR" looks an awful lot like a spruce to me ... firs have flat needles (like balsam firs, the most common and popular Christmas tree), while spruce have round sharp-tipped ones like the ones on the tree shown.
Can the Russian government allow you to build a Mansion in the middle of the Russian Taiga?
Lol as far as I know, yes, since it's a pretty free country there now, at least in terms of ownership of property and land.
@@Geodiode Just imagine owning a beautiful mansion in the middle of nowhere in the Taiga with all the trees and the horses and lakes.... Wow
@@jalululan4731 ... and the mosquitoes, and the bitterly cold winters. Haha! But yes, if you want isolation, then I can't think of anywhere else on earth where you could do it so remotely, and yet still live off the land.

Thank you very much for all the good content.
This beautiful land belongs just to Russian.keep it .!!!! It is your heritage!:.there for americans tries to get it ( they run out their country, also getting to others to stole in the name of democracy) !!! Never give up to protect the land what God gaves u.!!!! It IS Yours!!!!
This is the biome I live in. Greetings from Whitehorse Yukon Canada 🇨🇦

Спасибо, что поделились своим местным видением! Поделитесь этим видео с друзьями в России!
Ohh it's really really good valuable video...I'm doing advanced level exam in bio stream in sri lanka..thank you so much🙏😍😍❤️❤️keep it up❤️❤️❤️
Most welcome 😊
Superb sir, your explanation is understandable... Thank you and keep uploading more videos.
You didn't mention the Siberian pine, Pinus Cembra Sibirica. A very interesting tree.
Morning and afternoon it's heaven, after dusk it's real silent hill
ok
The word Taiga does not come from Russian. It is an Altai Turkish word.
The White Man’s natural habitat, I would love to be in one in winter, I would feel right at home.
💓🙏💫 Thank you so much
You are so welcome
thanks for this video really helped me!
Glad it helped!
I'm doing school work about biome and I watch your vids to help
Thank you for the best video
درسنا في الثالثة إعدادي عن روسيا وسيبيريا وغابات التايغا والتوندرا..قبل 7 سنوات..
أتمنى أن تكون قد تعلمت شيئا منه.
I miss the mammoth steppe.
A taiga can stand out so sharply from other biomes that there can even be a steppe in the middle of it! For example, the Kungur island forest-steppe. A combination of the mystery and majesty of the taiga with a grand scale and heartwarming vibe of the hill grasslands. Very beautiful!
Interesting. I didn't know about Kungur Island.
@@Geodiode It's called island steppe because it's isolated from the main steppe, but yeah. Btw, kungur steppe is not alone, there's also an isolated forest-steppe in the near Bashkortostan, just to the east from Ufa Plateau (big, curved area of hills and forests if you look on the map). This is how hills and mountains influence the climate, I guess.
Im Livin on Rain Forest Biome
Love it, TaiGa forest
my children asked cute thing...
is this where Santa Claus lived in ?
in the Taiga full of Christmas tree
so i showed this video and educate them , no Santa house is noted
:-)
Seems like they should of named it "Siberian Tiaga".
russian part of taiga is called siberia or siberian taiga, but since it goes to canada and usa we cant call it russian name :))
The most beautiful type of forest if you ask me
صقيع بارد يبرد ابرد😂😂
Toiga the forest pure as nature Biomes in woeld
Me encantan este tipo de videos, ojala la gente le diera mas apoyo
I love this type of videos, i wish people give him more support
It's amazing 🤩
Dude minecraft shaders are getting more realistic day by day
I guess you could call it the Taiga Woods
@@Geodiode why thank you
کاش دکمه ترجمه را بزنید تا ما فارسی زبانان! از این چنل آگاهی بیشتر به دست می آوردیم.
I thought i had provided Farsi subtitles?
خیر فعال نکردید.
Thanks
All biomes are the same as evolved, not all of them are as equally diverse.
- Taiga is not russian word throught it came throught russian. It means mountains in Altai languages.
- The word is accuarate as taiga (in hotter geological eras) originated in mountains.
- Siberian cedar pine is worth mentioning as these produce pine nuts.
- Cranberies, mushrooms, dewberies are worth mentioning, too.
- Still taiga is human influenced. Original had richer understory plant communities than just mosses.
- Oxigen (and CO2 sink) depends on taiga. In tropics growth soon are decomposed back to CO2.
- It is magnificant! (Maybe not the best place to live)
- I love coastal pines.
Thank you 😊 🌱

Suasana yang indah
I enjoy your videos and your vids are great! If you know that I am cold adapted and my favorite biome( even though it's close with the temperate forests)
And planning if i can travel going to the taiga biome twice ,first one in lichen woodland
Add forest. Repeat.
Wonderful Taiga👍👌
A few stories out there on (human) life in this biome; maybe the most famous is that of *Agafia,* born in 1944. Search YT for one of the numerous films about her (and how she acquired assistance through them). "Reindeer herders" will find some good vids as well. A friend of mine visiting someone he knew who was a reindeer herder talks about the black cloud of biting flies they move in during the very short breeding season. I can deal with the cold of northern forests. But not those damned flies and the even worse mosquitoes. ["What do they live on when they can't get hobbit?"]
è il mio video preferito
Thanks for the video 💜
You're welcome 😊
Hi Geodiode, why is there no taiga in the southern hemisphere?
A good question, which I believe I answered in the "Continental" climate video - namely, there are insufficiently large masses of land away from the oceans to produce especially cold winter temperatures. Antarctica is the exception - and watch the "Icecap" video" for an explanation of that.
I'm here bcs my teacher send this link for us, obs: we are brazilians
you are brazilians
Bellissimo video 🙂
The ending 😂 🐅
Where for the God's sake you found an information "Only about 0.1% of the Siberian Taiga is logged annually" ??? Did you ever seen Google Maps and Siberian forests on it?? LIARS!
Theo như tôi được biết, ở Liên xô có rất nhiều rừng taiga 🤗😍
Eis que a LOUD vai morar ai... LOUD THAIGA
I'm amazed that the real world has taiga biome as well as Minecraft.
Brasil aqui
The Tiger part was hilarious! 🤣
Obrigado!
Taiga literally doesn't mean "land of the little sticks". Moreover, the origin of that word is not Slavic or Russian. It's a Turkic word and it meant "rocky hills".
Beautiful place
Do Redwood trees grow in the Taiga or are they further south?
@@Geodiode Thank you kindly.
For those who want to see the darker side of this forest go look up “Sergei has a creepy experience in the Siberian forest”
Sergei was raped by a bear?
U are the bestest bro
What would be some endangered or invasive species living in this biome?
Hello, my name is Khaled from Morocco. I want to meet friends from a foreign country. I work in the field of granite, ceramics and construction
any other magic players here because ofbthe beautiful artwork on the og dual lands?

Monty python's flying circus did not help me to identify tamaracks as a species of larch. Very disappointing. Never knew they were larches. We have them here in Michigan, they're not super common like firs, maples, juniper and oak, but when i do see them i always stop to consider what fire brought them to life.
I wrote to John Cleese to complain about the vagueness of his tree identification system. He never responded. (Just kidding... glad you spotted the reference!)
Taiga is found in
This the source of most of the worlds softwood, used in paper, cardboard and furniture.
In countries like Sweden and Finland this is big business, with good infrastructure and for the biome fairly mild weather allows for easy and safe transport, while re-growth is faster then in NA and Eurasia.
In southern Sweden re-growth is about ~25 years(used more for woodworks and furniture) and in the north and in Finland it's about 30-35 years(used more for paper products).
Even though Sweden increases use of the forest every year the combined mass of wood keep increasing annually, new fast growing trees are planted and warming of the area is part of the reason.
@@Geodiode I know in Sweden spruce(mostly Norwegian) made up 41% of the industry and pine trees 39%.
Pine is better for wood planks so it's more popular in the south (Småland etc), while spruce and paper dominate in the north (Lappland etc).
There is also a growing industry of what we call "noble trees", oak and beech and the like, it's all going to kitchen interiors and high-end Scandinavian furniture.
This mostly in the very south with similar climate to western Europe.
I love driving here as a short drive will move you to different types of forest depending on the owners. Some are zone pushers, others don't care and have untouched forest, many are a bit boring and efficient, optimized to for the forest industry.
Also in the forest are pockets of human culture, next to lakes and rivers are usually first rich clay soil perfect for farming, then meadows with old oaks here and there, slowly and increasing is the amounts of rocks sticking up in the grass until the forest begins again.
The ice age really did a number on us.
What? So we can combat global warming by cutting down the taiga?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Hate to say, but if Russia's taiga burns every century or two, then sustainable logging should be fine ... 😂😅 say what 😢?
Well you'd think so, eh? But no, there's no limit to the madness of Queen Greta and her cultists!
