Taiga+Conservation

Conservation

By: Marek S. and Kallie J. Acid rain is formed when pollutants, such as nitrogen oxide, from burning gas, and sulfur dioxide, from burning coal, are released into the air and mix with water vapor to form a toxic cloud. If these toxic clouds become heavy with water and precipitation falls, the result can be very destructive to the Taiga. This is caused by factories releasing pollutants into the air. A possible solution to this problem is the use of scrubbers should be used to reduce pollution from factories releasing pollution into the atmosphere.

Fire is an important and natural component of boreal regions, and is a fundamental control on many ecosystem processes. Over the past 30+ years, however, a gradual increase in both the frequency and intensity of fires has been observed. Every year many acres of land have been burned because of human carelessness. People can keep this from happening by simply tending and lighting campfires more carefully, always keep fire extinguishing equipment handy, and not burning things if its to windy outside. You can help save the Taiga by being more careful when your camping.

Humans positively impacted the Taiga by setting up the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is a 1.92 million acre wildlife preserve on the Kenai Peninsyla.

Humans Have negativley impacted the taiga by clearing the land of its trees and plants. This is called deforestation. Because the land is missing its plants and trees there is nothing to achor the soil down and the land eventually loses its nutrients. Click here for Biomes Home. Click here for Taiga Home.
