Compare the biodiversity of the temperate forest biome with the tropical forest biome?

The tropical rain forest has a larger biodiversity. It usually has a really rich and varied understory with a lot of plants and animals. The soil is higher in nutrients than in the temperate forest. The temperate forest has seasons and less rainfall. The trees in the temperate forest loose their leaves in the cold season. Because the rainforest is warm all year around the trees don't lose there leaves.

What is the difference between coniferous forest and rainforest?

A coniferous forest is composed of conifer tree species (the word conifer means cone bearing). Pine trees are an example of a conifer tree. Typically coniferous forest are evergreen forest because most conifers are evergreen tree species (they do not lose their leaves in the fall, which means the trees stay green year round). The Society of American Foresters defines a rainforest as "an evergreen forest associated with a climate characterized by continual high humidity and abundant rainfall (>60 in or > 1524 mm per year) and a short or no dry season" (Helms, 1998). Therefore, a rainforest may be a coniferous forest. A coniferous rainforest would typically be known as a temperate rainforest (such as those of the Pacific Northwest to Alaska). Tropical rainforest remain green year round due to the warm climate rather than the species of tree present. These rainforest tend to have broad leaf trees rather than conifer species.
