Temperate coniferous forest is a terrestrial biome defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature. Temperate coniferous forests are found predominantly in areas with warm summers and cool winters, and vary in their kinds of plant life.
Learn about coniferous forest, a vegetation type with evergreen trees and low shrubs or herbs. Find out the differences between boreal, moist temperate, and subalpine coniferous forests and their locations, climates, and species.
Learn about the coniferous forest biome, a type of temperate forest with evergreen trees that thrive in cold and moist regions. Find out its location, temperature, precipitation, plants, animals, and adaptations.
Temperate coniferous forests are found in areas with temperate weather: plenty of rainfall, cool winters, and warm summers. Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests are found in areas with tropical latitudes, making their climates more humid.
Temperate coniferous forests sustain the highest levels of biomass in any terrestrial ecosystem and are notable for trees of massive proportions in temperate rainforest regions. Structurally, these forests are rather simple, consisting of 2 layers generally: an overstory and understory.
Learn about the characteristics, location, and climate of coniferous forests, which are dominated by evergreen trees that produce cones and needles. Compare and contrast the northern boreal and temperate coniferous forests, and see examples of monthly temperature and precipitation data.
Learn about temperate forests, vegetation types with a continuous canopy of broad-leaved trees. Find out how they originated, how they are classified, and how they have been affected by human activities.
