What are the characteristics of a coniferous tree?
Most conifers are evergreen, have perennial leaves, i.e. their leaves stay on the shoots 3-8 years. Some conifers, however, have deciduous leaves, lasting only one season (e.g. Larix sp.) The leaves are always simple, either narrow, linear or needle-like, or very small, scale-like.
How do humans affect the coniferous forest?
