boreal forests  

Definición

  • Boreal forests, also known as taiga in Russia, stretch across a large zone in the Northern Hemisphere, spanning North America and Northern Eurasia, and represent nearly one third of the global forested areas. Formed under harsh climatic conditions, these forested ecosystems provide crucial ecological and societal benefits and strongly influence many global processes, including carbon storage and release and, subsequently, concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
