The boreal forest is on the move. Here’s what that means for our climate Warmer temperatures and high soil nitrogen levels are causing Earth’s largest land biome to advance northward.

Distribution of global forest area. FAO. The boreal represents nearly 30% of the world's forest cover.; Canada contains 9% of the world's forests. 77% of Canadian forests are in the boreal zone.

We study the boreal forest’s northern boundary through experimental manipulations, measurements, remote sensing and long-distance treks between our 20 field sites located in Alaska’s Brooks Range.

KS3/GCSE Geography. Coniferous / taiga / boreal forest biome. Ferne Corrigan visits Finland to investigate the coniferous forest biome to see how plants and animals have adapted to living there.

From a hardy frog to better-known bears and reindeer, meet the tenacious animals that inhabit the taiga (boreal forest), the largest biome on land.
