Question

what is other name of coniferous forest​

Answer 1

Answer:

Coniferous forests are found mostly in the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Other names for the coniferous forest are: taiga (Russian for swamp forest) and boreal forest. The trees making up the coniferous forest are cone-bearing trees like the spruce, pine, fir and hemlock. These trees have needle-like leaves that keep their green color throughout the entire year. Coniferous forests are usually in areas where the summer is short and the winter is long and cold with heavy snowfall lasting up to 6 or 7 months.

Deciduous Forest

These forests are located in eastern North America, western and central Europe, and northeastern Asia where the summer season is warm and winters are cold. A deciduous forest differs from the coniferous forest in that the trees are broadleaved and fall off the tree during late summer to early autumn. The leaves are green during the spring and most of the summer, but then become shades of yellow, red, and orange before they fall of the trees. The leaves fall from the tree because they were designed to absorb sunlight better than that of the coniferous forest, leaving them sensitive to frost, snow and wind. Some common trees found in deciduous forest are the elm, oak and beech.

Mixed Forests

Mixed forests contain both deciduous trees and coniferous trees and are located in areas all throughout the world. The weather in these areas is able to support both types of trees and vegetation. These forests are common in mountain ranges and areas where temperatures are warm during the summer months and cold during the winter months.

Mediterranean Forests

These types of forest are generally called scrublands because the temperatures make it possible for short oaks and pines to grow, but the tree are very scattered resulting into an undeveloped forest. These forests contain a large amount of wildflowers and a diverse number of insect-eating birds. Another name for the Mediterranean forest is "maquis".
