Coniferous Forest

Coniferous forests are large areas dominated by cone-bearing trees such as pine, spruce, and fir. These forests typically thrive in cooler climates with distinct seasons, often found in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. The trees have needle-like leaves that help conserve water, making them well-suited for environments with cold winters and dry conditions. These forests support unique ecosystems, providing habitat for diverse wildlife and playing a vital role in maintaining global carbon balance. They are important for timber, paper, and other resources, and their coniferous trees are recognizable by their evergreen appearance, remaining green year-round.
