Most conifer timber is classed as softwood and deciduous wood as hardwood.
Conifer is latin for cone. Meaning pinecones grow on it. Deciduous is mainly any type of tree spuce, maple. All types.....I'm in 7th grade and I know this...! :)
Coniferous forests mostly consist of pines, spruce, firs, and other trees with needles and cones. Deciduous are mostly maples oaks and other trees with leaves and/or fruit.
The foests
Coniferous trees (spruce, pine, etc.) are called softwood, even though some have harder wood than deciduous trees (maple, oak, birch, etc.).
The terms coniferous and deciduous refer to trees, rather than particular kinds of forests. Forests described as coniferous or deciduous are those containing primarily those kinds of trees. Coniferous trees are trees which don't change over the seasons, like evergreens and other pine trees.
Hardwood comes from deciduous trees. Softwood comes from conifers.
Pine cones are produced by pine trees. These are coniferous trees with needle like leaves that are not totally shed in the winter season. The cone that is common to the tree is part of its reproductive cycle Acorns are found in Oak trees. These are a hard wood deciduous tree with leaves that it generally loses during the winter. Again, the acorn is part of the reproduction of the tree.
Cedar
The difference between coniferous and non-coniferous wood lies in cone-bearing wood coming from trees that produce needles such as pine and spruce species. Non-coniferous wood comes from trees that produce leaves such as maple, oak and apple.
As coniferous wood is softwood it would be inclined, given the same conditions, to decay faster.
A coniferous tree has soft wood and usually has needles instead of leaves and keeps them all year long, whereas the deciduous trees have regular leaves, usually a hard wood, and they loose their leaves during the winter.

Answerdeciduous trees are considered "hard wood" trees, and coniferous trees are "soft", even though some deciduous trees are soft and some coniferous trees are hard. but to answer your question, yes ash is a deciduous wood but it is soft and light. AnswerAsh is a hardwood.
The answer isSoftwood All trees, deciduous and coniferous, hardwood and softwood, are vital to our environment on earth.

a hard wood
Yew is a softwood. The Yew is a conifer, and softwoods come from coniferous trees, while hardwoods come primarily from deciduous trees.
there is no difference
The difference between wood and plastic is that the wood is opaque and the plastic is transparent.
