I got the temperature in winter and summer from this website. I also found
that a taiga biome has four seasons like ours.

I got this from this from this website: Global Warming - Biologists and
scientists think temperature changes over the next century may occur at rates 15
to 50 times faster than historical averages. Organisms will have trouble
responding to these changes and will face even greater odds of surviving.
Extreme changes in temperature and precipitation could cause climatic zones to
shift several hundred kilometers toward the poles over the next 50 years.
Climatologists are also predicting that the area covered by boreal forests (the
taiga) will be reduced by 50-90%.

I got this from this website: The taiga helps the environment and humanity
in many ways. The taiga filters millions of liters of water everyday. There are
other things it does too. The massive number of trees in the taiga remove carbon
dioxide (a harmful gas) and convert it into oxygen. Humans also cut down trees
for wood in the taiga, but if done incorrectly (like gathering too much) it can
be extremely harmful to the taiga. This is one of the biggest threats to the
taiga.

I got the following from this website: Humans impact the taiga in multiples
ways. 1. hunting the tiaga's animal inhabitants 2. cutting down the taiga's
forrestry (mainly evergreens) 3. global warming- melting the ice at a faster
rate increasing summer months so that animal and plant life have to adjust
themselves to a warmer climate.

I found a list of plants and animals from this website. The bald eagle, the
otter, the black bear, the deer, the wolf, and the moose are all found out.
