What Other Types of Broadleaves Would Grow in Subarctic Conditions?

+0
−0

As it turns out, conifers are not the only trees to grow in boreal forests, or taiga. At the southernmost ends, the evergreens are mixed with such deciduous trees as:

  • Birch
  • Alder
  • Willow
  • Poplar
  • Maple
  • Elm
  • Lime
  • Rowan

Now in an alternate Earth, the trees listed above either never existed or went extinct in a long-ago extinction even, and conifers grow only on mountainous highlands, which leave the angiosperms to dominate the lowlands (like the bulk of Siberia, for example.) In this scenario, what other kinds of broadleaf trees would thrive in such subarctic conditions as Russia, Alaska and Scandinavia?
