Script error: No such module "protected edit request". Edit located in section CLIMATE CHANGE, paragraph 3, sentence beginning "Precipitation is relatively abundant..." Change "accelerate tree growth." to "accelerates tree growth." To ensure the verb conjugation matches the subject ("a longer growth season"). Junirevises (talk) 23:45, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Taiga forest locations
Why does the article's introduction mention Japan as a place where taiga forests can be found? In the source the paragraph is referencing there is no mention of Japan or Hokkaido and the Global distribution of the Taiga and Boreal forest biome map also does not mark Japan at all
The paragraph in question for reference: The taiga or boreal forest has been called the world's largest land biome. In North America, it covers most of inland Canada, Alaska, and parts of the northern contiguous United States. In Eurasia, it covers most of Sweden, Finland, much of Russia from Karelia in the west to the Pacific Ocean (including much of Siberia), much of Norway and Estonia, some of the Scottish Highlands,[citation needed] some lowland/coastal areas of Iceland, and areas of northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan (on the island of Hokkaidō). 107.1.2.125 (talk) 22:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC) aswell as northern Alaska ( a state of america) and canada
- Mongolia has 5% of the forest area, Russians appeared there in the 17th century and for another century the word went to European Russia. The version with a Turkic-Mongolian origin is untenable. Secret (taina in slavic) may be 1 root, suffix -ga part in the names of rivers, road in Sanskrit Матросов Дима Вологда (talk) 06:50, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
And - please remove the call for a citation to support the mention of the Scottish Highlands. It's unnecessary: the Encyc Brit source cited (for the whole sentence, at its end) refers to "the taiga in the Highlands of Scotland".
Also - is it time to try ending the page protections? They've been in place for ten years . . maybe the problem they were solving has gone away by now? (Presumably there's only one way to find out?)

Revert edit 1202651894
Script error: No such module "protected edit request". Please revert this edit. First of all, it was crudely done; but also it removed sourced etymology basing only on some personal guesses, see the section above. (Also: isn't it time to remove demi-protection?) 77.223.109.164 (talk) 10:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
