It has moderate precipitation. A few species of evergreen or coniferous trees like pine, spruce, fir, cedar and larch dominate the plant cover. Coniferous trees are adapted to survive the cold climate and acidic, poorly drained soils. The Taiga terrain (Russian word) alternates between bogs and coniferous forests.. LMR Travel Company: .
