One of my absolute favourite words, taiga describes the broad majestic belt of coniferous forest that stretches around our planet between specific northern latitudes.

They occur on flat to undulating plains under coniferous forest or mixed forest in boreal and temperate climates with cold winters and short cool summers.

The main vegetation zones are the mixed forest, beech and mossy forest, sub-alpine coniferous forest and alpine grassland.

Lower areas are covered by dense coniferous forest.

The surrounding area has leached, gravelly-sandy soils with layers of hardpan, covered by open sand, large areas of heathland and extensive coniferous forest.

Similarly, pageviews for flowering plants had stronger seasonal trends than those for coniferous trees, which tend to require an expert eye to spot their yearly changes.

Deciduous and coniferous trees are favoured habitats.

We got lost among the coniferous trees and wisps of wet clouds that came swirling in so thick at times that our visibility was only about 30 metres.

Coniferous trees line either side of the road's right-of-way.

Traps are covered with leaves or needles from coniferous trees.
