Explanation:

The subarctic climate region is characterized by long, very cold winters and short, mild summers. This is generally found close to the Arctic regions, but at a latitude from 50° to 70°N from the humid continental climates. This region is not covered in permafrost, and in fact, can have abundant vegetation and wildlife. The vegetation consists of conifers and broadleaved trees. In general, these areas are poor when it comes to agricultural potential.
