		Taiga News 45 examines, for the first time, the impacts of mining on the boreal forests, and highlights what non-governmental organisations and forest-dependent people are doing to try to minimise these impacts.
		Issue 44 of Taiga News, Voices of the Boreal, is full of the usual news and views from around the forests of the boreal region, with a focus on the grassroots campaigns and forest peoples who are the heart of the Taiga Rescue Network.
		The fall issue of Taiga News explores some of the ecological issues that are of vital importance for the future of the boreal forests, including biodiversity, montane forest ecology and extinction tresholds.

	Taiga Biological Station Frequently Answered Questions
		Because the dominant trees are conifers, particularly spruce, the general aspect of the taiga is essentially the same wherever it is found: spire-like spruces against the skyline, lumpy pines, with feathery larches, white-barked birches and dense stands of alders, together forming a mosaic pattern when viewed from the air.
		During such periods of extreme radiant heat-loss some taiga mammals, such as the snowshoe hare, which live on the snow surface, spend much time beneath qali-laden spruces and alders where they are protected from the infinite radiation heat-sink of the night sky.
		One of the characteristics of the taiga is the usual presence of podzol soils.

		Taiga (IPA pronunciation: /ˈtaɪgə/ or /taɪˈga/, from Mongolian) is a biome characterized by coniferous forests.
		Covering most of inland Alaska, Canada, Sweden, Finland, inland Norway, northern Kazakhstan and Russia (especially Siberia), as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States, the taiga is the world's largest terrestrial biome.
		Since the soil is acidic due to the falling pine needles, the forest floor has only lichens and some mosses growing on it.

	Taiga Deforestation
		Since the forest continuously removes carbon gases from the atmosphere and replaces them with oxygen, preserving the taiga may be important to controlling the greenhouse effect.
		Because most of Russia's natural resources of oil, natural gas, coal, and diamonds are found under the forest, the taiga is depleted in order to mine these minerals.
		However, in the new Russia free from the trade barriers imposed by the old Soviet Forest Ministry, logging is the greatest threat to the taiga.
