Coniferous Forests

Coniferous forest ecosystems are found in regions of the Earth that experience somewhat long and cold winters, with summer being much shorter. Thus it is no surprise that these biomes are more common, the closer one travels towards the Earth’s poles. Additionally, this biome is found high a top mountains, where temperatures tend to be lower, and winter tends to last longer.

Common life forms living in this biome are evergreen trees, small mammals such as rodents, large mammals such as moose, and deer, and a variety of insects, spiders, and plants life.
