The taiga is the terrestrial biome with the lowest annual average temperatures after the
tundra and permanent ice caps. Extreme winter minimums in the northern taiga are typically
lower than those of the tundra. The lowest reliably recorded temperatures in the Northern
Hemisphere were recorded in the taiga of northeastern Russia. The taiga or boreal forest
has a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons, but the long
and cold winter is the dominant feature.
Taiga is another name for boreal forest ("boreal" means northern). Typically it has huge tracts with just one kind of tree, nearly always an evergreen. For some reason, possibly because it's an unfamiliar word, many people confuse taiga with tundra. (I even saw a nationally-televised program in which the speaker said, "here on the tundra..." against a complete background of trees.)
Fortunately, it's easy to avoid this mistake once you know it: the tundra has NO TREES; it's too cold and dry for them. There is some vegetation, though, which distinguishes tundra from cold desert. One common plant is reindeer moss.
The type of climate that the Taiga have is a snow climate.

In the tropical climate zone.

The subarctic zone
People adapt to their particular climate zone by wearing appropriate clothes according to the climate they are experiencing. They also adapt by knowing what climate zone they're in so they can plan their daily activities so that they won't be affected by climate they will experience. :))
Temperate
Taiga comes under arctic zone, hence only plants adapted to temperate climate are living there.
The Taiga shield is located in the subarctic climate region. This region is characterized by cold temperatures, long winters, and short summers, with average temperatures ranging from -30°C to 10°C. The Taiga shield receives moderate to low amounts of precipitation, mostly in the form of snow.
High latitude zones will have the climate with the lowest temperatures. High latitudes are home to climate zones such as the tundra and the taiga.
The climate in a taiga is mainly cold. It mostly has cold weather and coniferous forests.
Cold Climate only gets to about +5 degrees.

Taiga is found in the subarctic and boreal zones, typically between 50 and 60 degrees north latitude. This region includes parts of Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, and Northern Asia.
