The physical landscape involves Mountains, lakes, forests, waterfalls, ponds, and bogs. Also it includes forests, rolling hills, flat lands, streams, and rivers. The forests of the Taiga are found in the northern Rocky Mountains. These can be found all around the Taiga. Waterfalls flow into the lakes and bogs. Most of the trees in this forest are conifers. Conifers are trees that produce their seeds in cones and have leaves that are shaped like needles. This means that parts of the Taiga are in frizzing weather. It is made up of lots of forests some of the trees include are Balsam Fir, Black Spruce, Douglas-fir, Eastern Red Cedar. Also you will find Jack Pine, Paper Birch, Siberian Spruce, Whiter Fir, Whiter Polar, and White Spruce. Theses trees make up the forests in the taiga. There are also beautiful waterfalls flowing down. Also there is more to it than that it also has rolling hills and Flat lines.

Humans impact this biome by Large-scale industrial forestry, or logging, is the greatest important threat affecting the boreal forest. The wood is used in the "pulp factory" for pulp and paper. Other threats to the Taiga are oil and gas exploration, road building, mining, human triggered forest fire, and climate change. Animals of the Taiga are being hunted and trapped for their fur, which decreases their population greatly. The Taiga is being destroyed equal to the rainforests.
