    The document describes the cool temperate continental/Siberian climate region. Agriculture is limited due to the sub-arctic climate, with only hardy crops like cereals, barley, oats, rye, and root crops like potatoes able to survive. Traditional occupations included trapping fur-bearing animals like muskrats, ermines, minks, and silver foxes, either through individual hunting or modern fur farms. Lumbering is also a major economic activity, with vast coniferous forests providing resources for timber, paper and pulp products, furniture and other wood goods. Rivers aid transportation of lumber, benefiting Canada and Sweden while Siberia suffers from frozen rivers.

    Agriculture
     Sub-arctic climate – only hardy crops can survive
     Agriculture possible in sheltered valleys and lands bordering steppes
     Cultivated crops include – cereals (barley, oats, rye) and root crops
    (potatoes)
     Ex: Sweden – only 6% of total land cultivated
    ─ only 2% of labour engaged in agri
    Traditional Occupations
    Trapping of fur-bearing animals
     Muskrat, Ervine, Mink, Silver fox
     Traditional → individual hunting(log cabins, automatic rifles)
     Present-day → fur farms (1880s ─)

    Lumbering
     Basis – vast reserves of coniferous forests
     Resource – softwood trees
     Production – lumberjacks, machines
     Rivers for transportation – Canada, Sweden profit; Siberia suffers from
    frozen rivers
     Saw-milling → timber,plywood,planks
     Paper and pulp industry → newsprint, papermaking
     Furniture, matches, crates, packing cases
     By-products → turpentine, rayon, varnishes
