Taiga+Conservation

Negitive
The taiga biome has many human threats, one of the worst being deforestation. Experts say that in Siberia, the forests there are over one-fifth of the world’s forested area (over two million square miles). This means that if we cut it down, one fifth of the world’s forests will be gone. In Russia, They have loosened the rules of what and where people can cut down, meaning that more can be cut down and faster. The deforestation in areas like this all over the world adds up to over twelve million hectares or 120 000 000 000 m2.

=﻿Positive= Needle-like leaves are reducing water loss so that there is more water for other things such as drinking water. The branch on the trees are really flexible and so if snow falls on the leaves or branches it will just fall off. Coniferous trees are tolerant to a wide range of soils and climates. So therefore the coniferous trees are suited for thin, nutrient, poor, and acidic soils that are common in extreme latitudes.

Forest Fires and Their Solutions
Taiga is also susceptible to frequent forest fires due to careless humans and natural heat and dryness. Russian citizens are in fire zones more and more because their laws that keep people from doing things like throwing matches into the forest on a dry day or not putting out a campfire. To improve this problem, the Russian government needs provide information on what can and will happen if they continue to do these things and they should provide detailed information on where forest fire could happen and information about where fires are currently blazing. Finally, the Russian government could make the process more public so they get a since of responsibility.

=Acid Rain and Solution= Taiga has acid rain there is air pollution from the major cause of Acid Rain. The smoke and fumes from burning fumes rise in the atmosphere and use moisture in the air that forms acid rain. Cemicals in air pollution create acid rain are sulfer dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Acid rain weakens but not kill the trees directly. This way the trees can easily get diseases and insects that altimately kill the trees. the trees can easily get injured by cold weather. The solution to Acid rain is that the people that work in the factories surrounding the forest can stop polluting the air with dioxides and oxides so that the air is clean, and the trees are saved and there will be more trees and oxygen.
