Question

Confirous forests in the points

Answer 1

$\purple{ \bold{Coniferous \: Forests/Taiga}}$

• Area: These forests, also known as Taiga, are located between 50 N and 70 N latitudes and in high altitude areas. The regions include southern Alaska, southern Canada. parts of Scandinavia, Poland, northern Russia and Siberia.

• Climate: These areas are characterised by short and cool summers and bitterly cold winters Precipitation is low (30 to 90 cm) and mostly in the form of snow.

• Vegetation: The vegetation here has adapted itself to withstand the harsh climate. The trees are evergreen, tall and straight. They have narrow needle-like leaves, which bear cones. They yield softwood (which is light in weight) and occur in pare stand. There is no undergrowth. The main trees are pine, fir, spruce, larch, cedar and hemlock.

• The softwood is used to make many products such as paper and matchsticks, furniture, newsprint, plywood, sports goods, and so on.

• Wildlife: Fur-bearing animals such as the silver fox, beaver, lynx, sable, mink and hare are found here, The fur protects them from severe winters. Many of these animals are trapped for their fur. The caribou, reindeer, moose and bear are also common.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Coniferous forests are mostly found in regions of the Earth that experience long winters and short summers. Coniferous forests, therefore, are found mainly in the northern hemisphere, although some are found in the southern hemisphere.

• Coniferous forests (fir, pine, spruce) make up around one-third of the world’s forests and are found in northern parts of North America, Europe and Asia where temperatures tend to be lower, and winter tends to last longer.

$\huge\underline\mathsf\blue{Climate}$

The coniferous forest climate may differ slightly depending on the forest’s location around the world. Coniferous rainforest biomes stretch from Siberia to Canada and experience freezing winters and mild to hot summers. Coniferous forests have really low temperatures throughout the year. The average temperature in winter is -54°C to -1°C, while the temperatures in summer are -7°C to 21°C. There are usually long, cold, mild, and wet summers in this region.

$\huge\underline\mathsf\blue{Trees}$

• Black spruce: Named for it’s dark-colored leaves and trunk, this tree is common in parts of North America and the boreal forest.
• White spruce: Like a black spruce, but with light leaves and trunk.
• Larch: These trees are small but incredibly durable, and varieties can be found in the coldest parts of the boreal forest.
• Lodgepole pine: Found in North America, particularly around the Pacific Northwest. Named because it was used by Native Americans to support “lodges.”
• Jack Pine: Often found on hillsides and other terrain that isn’t flat
• Balsam fir: found in North America and best known for being used as a Christmas tree
• Eastern white pine: These trees can grow very old and are found in North America.
• Bunya pine: A big tree found in Australia, and its wood is used for a variety of purposes.
• Yew: Found in parts of Europe and Asia, they can grow to be thousands of years old and are poisonous.
• Engelmann spruce: found in North America, particularly around Colorado
• Douglas-fir: These trees grow incredibly large – both in height and width.
• Red cedar: found in locations all over the world, typically more like a bush.
• Hemlock: This tree – not the plant – is found in cold regions in parts of Asia and North America.
• Redwoods: huge trees that grow in parts of California and the Pacific Northwest
• Giant sequoia: some of the world’s largest and oldest trees
• Siberian pine: Hardy trees that can live a long time and grow slowly.
• Parana pine: found in South America, particularly on hillsides. It is slow-growing and found in high elevations.
• Kauri pine: A conifer found in New Zealand, recently protected due to overharvesting.
