Talk:Taiga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
moved from taiga page
Relatively few creatures can survive the winters in the tundra, unless they can hibernate, or, like some small mammals, live under the snow.
this article is about taiga, not tundra...was your addition meant for taiga or for toundra ? User:anthere
Taiga and boreal forest aren't quite the same thing. Taiga lies between the boreal forest and the tundra. --Big_Iron 10:37, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It's just my opinion, but i think this is an important article and could use to be expanded... i'll add stuff if i get the time, but i don't really know a whole lot about the topic. SECProto 23:42, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Devandalizing
I doubt that 'Ms. Lemons' is the second biggest terrestrial biome.--70.72.82.57 22:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- You are right :) Thanks for catching that.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I see a bunch of gibberish all over the place in this article -- maybe more devandalizing is in order.
[edit] Added some stuff
I just added a lot to this. I had done a paper on it a while back, so most of it just got copied and pasted from that, not too much work for me. Probably needs more editing to fit in here better though, but this is definitely improvement from the small article that was here before. Elfgar 03:12, 20 February 2006 (UTC)Elfgar
[edit] WWF link
The link to the World Wildlife Fund's website points to a nonexsistant page. Whoever edits this article should change the link to reflect this. Kouban 00:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
I feel that a photograph of the taiga would be most beneficial. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.151.40.2 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Fire
While the section on fire and fire suppression is well-documented, it does seem to stray from the subject at hand. Accordingly, I've tagged it for "Off-Topic." The contributor may want to move it to a different topic, or create a new one. Septegram 17:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- The info at Taiga#fire suppression is rather redundant, off-topic as stated, and more fitting at Wildfire#fire suppression. It should be merged there. -- P199 18:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, agreed it should be merged Prospect77 23:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
i concur that the fire suppression discussion should be moved. i can see how it stems from the primary topic in a way that fails to support the intent of the article as a denotative description of the topic.
[edit] Threats
It would be good if the threats to this ecosystem were included on this page. Things like unsustainable forest management, large scale expoitation etc.
[edit] Citation problem
In the paragraph ending with the sentence "In Ontario, active fire suppression activities began sometime in the late 1910's, but these suppression activities are generally thought to be minimal compared with post 1950 when fire suppression began in earnest and technological advances made fire fighting much more effective (OMNR 2002, Thompson 2000).", you cite Thompson, 2000.
There is, however, no citation in your references for this author.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 159.105.49.8 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Neutrality in question.
Mentioning companies by name who consume forest products that may come from Boreal forests, is not relevant.
I recommend a more neutral position in this scientific article perhaps mentioning that Boreal Forests (Like all forests) are threatened by excessive logging for newsprint, consumer paper and home lumber products. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.66.173.221 (talk) 17:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC).
