DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -coniferous forest, vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in areas that have long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation. The northern Eurasian coniferous forest is called the taiga or the boreal forest.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a coniferous forest? A coniferous forest contains evergreen trees that bear cones. Elegant pines grow in this biome, along with spruce, fir, and tamarack. In much of the northern forest, the conifers mingle with deciduous trees, particularly aspen, birch, sugar maple, and basswood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trees present in the mountains are cone-shaped. When there is heavy rainfall or snowfall, snow and water may accumulate on the plants. To avoid this they have cone-shape and needle-shaped leaves to allow rainwater and snow to side off from the trees without damaging them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The coniferous forests generally have evergreen tall and straight trees with needle shaped leaves. These trees yield soft wood (which in turn is used for a variety of products such as paper, newsprint etc.) and they grow in pure stands with one species covering large part of the area.
