Which one of the following state- ments regarding temperate coni- ferous forest biome is not correct?

The temperate coniferous forest biome, often synonymous with the Siberian or taiga type, is characterized by extreme annual temperature variations rather than low variation. In these high-latitude continental regions, winters are long and severely cold, while summers are short and warm, leading to a massive annual temperature range [2]. For instance, regions like Verkhoyansk record extremes from -90F to 90F. Regarding other options, the growing season is indeed short, typically lasting only 50 to 100 frost-free days. There is very little undergrowth because the acidic, podzolized soils are nutrient-poor and the thick canopy, combined with slow needle decomposition, limits light and humus. Precipitation varies spatially across the vast circumpolar belt, ranging from moderately heavy in maritime-influenced areas like the Laurentian type to lower amounts in continental interiors.
