I've found some resources that I think will help to answer your question about how much light, soil and water coniferous forests get.
The first resource is called "Coniferous Forest". It describes the amount of rainfall these types of forests receive. The website also details the types of plants present and the differing climates found in coniferous forests.
go to earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Experiments/Biome/bioconiferous.php
This resource is sponsored by the Earth Observatory at Nasa so I believe it's reliable.
The second resource entitled, "The Forest Biome" details the type of soil that temperate and coniferous forests have. This website also relates the type of canopy that is present, which determines the amount of sunlight that can penetrate to the forest floor. Also discussed is the average amount of yearly rainfall.
go to ucmp.berkeley.edu/exhibits/biomes/forests.php
This website is provided by the University of California Museum of Paleontology, which is a respected organization. As a result, I feel it's trustworthy.
The third source, "Coniferous Forests", also relates the type of soil and vegetation that grows on the forest floor. This source also discusses the amount of light and snowfall that makes its way through the canopy layer.
go to panda.org/about_our_earth/ecoregions/about/habitat_types/habitats/coniferous_forests/
This source comes from WWW Global, a well-known and highly respected organization.
I found these resources by searching for the phrase, "coniferous forests" in the search engines Yahoo! and Google (quotation marks not needed).
