Boreal

Boreal means northern from the eponymous Boreas, god of the North Wind in Greek mythology. A boreal forest, also known as the taiga, is the set of forest ecosystems than can survive in northern, specifically subarctic, regions. The forests that lie immediately to the south of this are often called hemiboreal.
