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 the difference between deciduous forests and coniferous forest?
A coniferous forest has trees like evergreens, they never lose their leaves and they are always green. Like a chirstmas tree before it's cut. A deciduous forest is a forest where the leaves on the trees do turn colors and eventually fall of in the fall and winter. That's just a simple difference though, there are much more complicated differences. Coniferous forests are found in colder climates, in fact the further north you go the less deciduous trees you will find. This also holds true for hot climates . Coniferous trees have evolved needles and thick sap so they lose less moisture to the elements while deciduous trees are usually located in areas of abundant moisture.Typically - deciduous forests have more clay soil and a higher pH while coniferous forests are more likely sandy and acidic in nature.Deciduous forests drop their leaves as soon as the growing season ends. A coniferous forest are made up of evergreens that retain their foliage.
