Flora means plant life of an environment. Fauna means animal life of an environment.

Taiga is characterized by coniferous forests.

// FLORA OF TAIGA

2 major types of taiga: closed forest (with closely spaced trees & moss) & lichen woodland

Trees include paper birch, willows, trembling aspen, tamarack, green alder, white spruce, balsam poplar, lodgepole pine, jack pine, dwarf birch, black spruce, and balsam fir.

Smaller plants include fire snag, wild rose, Labrador tea, bearberry, sedges, eriacaceous shrubs, cottongrass, moss, sphagnum moss, feathermoss, bog cranberry, and blueberry.

Fires are fairly common in the taiga, considering that it's a forest.
