Question
Give geographical reasons:
The lumbering activity has developed in Taiga forests.
Short Note
Solution
- Lumbering is an economic activity involving felling, hauling, and logging of timber.
- It is well developed in the Taiga coniferous forests because the coniferous forests have soft-wooded trees which are easy to fell with modern machines.
- Softwood has great demand in the international market.
- The lack of dense undergrowth and creepers help in the easy cutting of these trees.
- The presence of one type of tree to a large extent makes the commercial lumbering activity more economical.
- Hence, lumbering activity has developed in Taiga forests.
