The correct answer is option 2: Forest ecosystem.

A forest ecosystem refers to a community of living organisms in conjunction with their physical environment that includes trees, plants, animals, and microorganisms. Taiga is a specific type of forest ecosystem, also known as a boreal forest, which is characterized by its cold and long winters, short summers, and mostly coniferous trees like spruce, fir, and pine.

Option 1, grassland ecosystem, is not the correct answer as taiga is not a grassland with primarily grasses and few trees. Option 3, tundra ecosystem, is also not correct as tundra ecosystems are found in areas with extremely cold temperatures and a very short growing season, which is different from the taiga. Option 4, desert ecosystem, is not the correct answer because deserts are dry and arid areas with very little rainfall and minimal vegetation, which is not characteristic of the taiga ecosystem.
