How are deciduous trees different from coniferous trees?
Coniferous trees are trees that produce cones to carry seeds. They also have needles. These features protect trees through the cold, dry winters of the subarctic climates. Moist temperature climates support thick forests of deciduous trees, or trees that lose their leaves in the fall. Some temparate forests include a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees.
What is needed to support the animals life?

In which country is the most water needed?
It depends on the circumstances. -Ones that have enormous forests (ex: Brazil) -Ones that have large populations to support (ex: India) -Ones that are fighting desertification (ex: China) -Ones that support an agricultural society. -Ones that don't have much water to begin with.
Does a temperate forest have coniferous trees?
There is a bit of "transition" between areas of permafrost and the coniferous forests, but yes, a few trees will grow over permafrost. These trees will grow if there is sufficient "relief" in the form of seasonal thawing. That thawing allows soil of sufficient depth to unfreeze and support a larger plant like a tree. Trees would need a little longer period of thawing and enough of the soil to thaw so they can survive than, say, bushes, shrubs or flowering plants like those of the tundra.
Why is the tropical rain forest able to support so many species?

How do Aniamals adapt to grasslands?
The animals that live in grasslands have adapted to dry, windy conditions. There are grazing animals (that eat the grass), burrowing animals, and their predators; insects are abundant. A moderate of level species diversity exists on a grassland. Many animals live in grasslands, from invertebrates (like grasshoppers and beetles) to large mammals (like antelopes and bison). The different grasslands of the world support different populations of animals

Rain forests recycle nutrients.(apex)
What is ecological competition?
The simultaneous demand between two or more species-populations for a resource that is not abundant enough to support all of them at the sizes they would attain in the absence of the other species-populations.
