The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia , and Siberia have taigas. This taiga region was completely glaciated, or covered by glaciers , during the last ice age. The soil beneath the taiga often contains permafrost —a layer of permanently frozen soil. In other areas, a layer of bedrock lies just beneath the soil. Both permafrost and rock prevent water from draining from the top layers of soil. This creates shallow bogs known as muskegs.

Global change ecologist Logan Berner and remote sensing expert Scott Goetz , both from Northern Arizona University, used Landsat satellite images from to to examine changes in land cover. Along the southern edge of boreal forests, the team observed an increase in browning, indicating that trees were dying. Greening along the northern edge, on the other hand, crept upward over the decades. The boreal forest biome encompasses more than 15 million square kilometers about 5. To isolate the effects of climate change, the researchers excluded forest areas that were greening because they were recovering from disturbances like wildfires and logging.
