Question

The boreal forests of North America are dominated by ____.  
A) spruce, fir, and pine
B) redwoods and sequoia
C) birch and aspen
D) long-leaf and loblolly pines
E) cedars and junipers

Accepted Answer

Boreal forests, also known as taiga, are usually dominated by coniferous trees such as spruce, fir, and pine. This is due to the cold temperatures and relatively short growing season in the region, which favors these types of trees. The other choices are not typically found in boreal forests.
