Trees that have thick, waxy needles to prevent water loss and protect from cold would most likely be found in which biome?

Taiga trees, such as pines and firs, are adapted to long, cold winters and limited water availability. Their thick, waxy needles help reduce water loss and withstand cold, so the biome is the taiga, not grassland, desert, or tropical rain forest.
