The Coniferous Forests are located in the North of the world which explains why it gets so cold in the winter because it is not near the equator. It is located in an area in which cold weather is dominant. They are found in Russia, Scandinavia, Siberia, Canada, and the United States. Taigas are located in these areas because the trees, plants, and animals need to live in a temperate environment that is a little bit on the colder side. Most organisms living here can live in other biomes, but Coniferous Forests are the best for them. Also, the reason why evergreen trees (whuch are found in Coniferous Forests) are in cold environments instead of warm ones because they can are green throughout the year; even when it is cold out. Most trees in the Coniferous Forest have needles which is an adaptation to the cold weather.
