The taiga, or boreal forest, is given to high seasonality with a long season during which temperatures are below the freezing point of water. As such, trees must be conifers, with very limited leaves (needles) adapted to the cold, or be deciduous trees that are well adapted to the stress involved in losing its leaves every year. For instance, I live in the central region of Alaska. We have deciduous trees and conifers. The farther north you go though, the fewer deciduous trees there are.

Why do you think that Tiaga ecosystem are home to evergreen trees?

Taiga ecosystems are home to evergreen trees like conifers because these trees have adapted to the cold and harsh conditions of the taiga. Their needle-like leaves reduce surface area and water loss, allowing them to conserve energy and survive long winters. Additionally, evergreen trees are able to photosynthesize and produce food year-round, giving them a competitive advantage in the taiga environment.
