when we look at the climate of the taiga, we are looking at average temperatures, abiotic factors such as precipitation, and circulatory patterns. according to the study in global change biology, the average yearly temperatures across the alaskan and canadian taiga ranged from −26.6 °c to 4.8 °c. this indicates the extreme cold weather the taiga has for the majority of the year. as for precipitation, the majority of it is snow, but rain is also an important factor. according to "the international journal of climatology", precipitation in the form of rain ranged from 40 mm average in august, to 15 mm average in april over a multi-year study. rain is not the only kind of precipitation that affects the taiga; the main factor in precipitation is usually snow. according to cec ecological regions of north america, snow and freshwater ice can occupy the taiga for half to three quarters of the year. a cec ecological regions of north america document states that the lowest average precipitation is on the western side of taiga; can be as little as 200 mm and on the east coast it can be as high as exceeding 1,000 mm. as for circulatory patterns, we're finding that the temperature increases have led to a seasons shift. global change biology also has noted with the change in temperature over time, as well as the overall climate change, the growing season has lengthened. their findings illustrate that the growing season has grown 2.66 days per ten years. this growing season change as a result of global warming is having an extreme effect on the taiga.
