- Summary:
- In the far north of the world lies the greatest plant continuity on the planet: the boreal forest. At the edge of shadow and light, temperatures are extreme and living things have adapted to survive. In the vastness of the forest, the birch stands out. Its white bark is a powerful insulator, and its roots, by allying themselves with the symbiotic fungi in the soil, defend it against underground attacks. But the birch above all plays an essential role for the Taiga: it is the pioneer tree, the herald of the forest. The lichens that spread around it feed the reindeer who, as they move, carry with them the seeds that will re-sow the rest of the forest. An essential cog in the great cycle of life in the North, the birch is the emblem of an entire world.
