What Is a Taiga?

1 Earth has a large variety of climates. Climate describes such things as the general weather, daily temperatures, and rainfall in an area over a long period of time. Earth also has a large variety of plants and animals. But all plants and all animals don't need the same kind of conditions to grow their best. Usually the climate of a place determines what kind of plants and animals live there. Scientists have divided the Earth into different areas. Each area has plants, animals, and climates that are specific to that area. Each of these areas is called a biome. A biome is a complex community of organisms that live in a specific area with a specific climate, such as a desert or grasslands.
