TAIGA

Winters in the taiga are cold and the summers are warm. The taiga gets between 15 and 30 inches of precipitation a year.
It stretches across a large part of Canada, Asia and Europe and can be found between the tundra and deciduous forests.
DESERT
-
A desert is a landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently
The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to denudation. About one-third of the land surface of the Earth is arid or semi-arid.
TUNDRA
It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons.
Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus.
