Conifers are mostly evergreen — they keep their leaves (needles) for several years, and needle drop occurs year round.

Deciduous trees drop their leaves in fall in temperate climates. Caveat: Broad leaf trees in tropical climates can behave like conifers and have some leaves year round. And some broadleaf plants even in temperate climates are evergreen. Wood violets and many rhododendrons.)

But there are other differences.

Conifers are generally better adapted to colder climate. As you move north, or to higher elevations in the mountains, fewer and fewer leaf trees survive.

Conifer forests tend to be less diverse. It’s very common to find that 1 or 2 species form 90% of the plant biomass. So in British Columbia the Interior Douglas fir zone will be mixed with ponderosa pine at the warmer, dryer edge of it’s range, and mixed with western large on the wetter cooler areas.

Contrast that with the eastern hardwood forests which may have several dozen species of trees and shrubs on an acre.
