Taiga vs Desert

Explanation:

Taiga:

Trees have dark-colored leaves to maximize absorption of sunlight (Since the time available for sun exposure is short)Animals have thick fur (Taiga is a cold environment, which can have snow most of the time, for which animals develop a thick fur to protect from cold-exposure)

Desert:

Plants have structures that conserve water (For example, deep root systems that let them absorb water, or needles that prevent water loss)Trees have soft, green needles
