what is coniferous forest and what is its other name??
Coniferous forests are made up mainly of cone-bearing or coniferous trees, such as spruces, hemlocks, pines and firs. 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 able to survive cold termperatures and acidic soil.
Coniferous forests are found mainly in the northern hemisphere.
The northern coniferous forests are called taiga or boreal forests.
