2. Precipitation: The taiga receives relatively little precipitation, with an average of only 25 to 50 centimeters per year. This lack of precipitation can also limit plant and animal growth.
3. Soil: The soil in the taiga is often thin and infertile. This is due to the cold climate and the slow decomposition of organic matter. The lack of nutrients in the soil can also limit plant growth.
4. Sunlight: The taiga is located at high latitudes, so it receives less sunlight than areas closer to the equator. This can also limit plant growth.
