The third one is correct. I would be inclined to change the beginning to "The Taiga contains..." or "The Taiga biome contains..."

Hi,
*The taiga...
I still don't understand what this is. A planet? A region of the planet? A species of tree?

FandorinAre all of them correctNo. The one with "the whole trees" is wrong. It means something like "the trees that are whole", "the trees that are not broken into pieces". It may be true that you're talking about "whole trees", but it's inappropriate to mention it unless you are having a discussion about whole trees and trees that are broken up.

Thank you RayH and Clive
