What is a Coniferous Forest?
A typical coniferous forest
A coniferous forest is a forest containing coniferous or evergreen trees. These forests are found in the northern United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Typical coniferous forest's geographical features include mountains, valleys, rolling hills, and flat plateaus. The climate of a coniferous forest varies greatly as the seasons change. Usually winters are snowy and cold, and the summers are hot and sometimes humid. Conifers, like Douglas Firs, White Fir, and Ponderosa Pine, cover most coniferous biomes. Animals like Red Foxes, White Tailed Deer, and Beavers occupy coniferous forests. For more examples of animals and plants, see the sign below.
