Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coniferous forests are made up mainly of cone-bearing or coniferous tress. The leaves of these trees are either small and needle-like or scale-like and most stay green all year around(evergreen). All are softwoods and are able to survive cold temperatures and acidic soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical Evergreen Forests are found in regions that are hot and receive heavy rainfall. The trees in these forests do not shed their leaves and they always appear to be green.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chir, pine, and cedar are the trees found in coniferous forests. Their wood is soft and easy to cut.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conifers have needle-like leaves to hold more moisture and reduce wind resistance. The long, rolled needles can hold water throughout the year, even during drought or cold weather. This allows the plant to engage in photosynthesis year-round in most cases.
