As Russia is the largest country in the world. Russia has three major landscapes. They are taiga, tundra and steppe. Only taiga and steppe has forest trees.

Taiga:
Coniferous trees which only located in the Northern Hemisphere can be found in Russia. Russia's climate includes cold and long winter for six months and there will be only a 50-100days summer. Coniferous trees are adapted to the cold and short-growing season of the taiga.

Steppe:
It has hot summer and cold winter. There isn't much humidity in a steppe and there will be lesser rainfall annually. There are three groups of coniferous tree there and they are classified through their high.
