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).
What else can I help you with?
What is the average precipitation of the coniferous forest?
Most precipitation in the Coniferous forest arrives as rain in summer. The average yearly precipitation is 12 to 33 inches.Hope This Helps!~Harlee C.
Average rainfall in the coniferous forest?
The average rainfall in a coniferous forest typically ranges from 30 to 60 inches per year. This consistent moisture level helps sustain the growth of coniferous trees, which are adapted to thrive in these conditions. Variations in rainfall can impact the overall health of the forest ecosystem.
What kind of plant life dominates the coniferous forest biome?
Coniferous trees, like pine, spruce, and fir, dominate the coniferous forest biome. These trees have adapted to the cold and harsh conditions of the biome by retaining their needle-like leaves year-round and producing cones to reproduce. Understory plants in these forests tend to be shade-tolerant and include species like ferns and mosses.
What abiotic factors that best describe a coniferous forest?
Abiotic factors that best describe a coniferous forest include cool temperatures, high precipitation, acidic soils, and long winters with snow cover. These factors influence the type of vegetation and wildlife that can thrive in this ecosystem.
Is coniferous and deciduous trees a group of trees like a forest?
The terms Coniferous and Deciduous refer to two different types of trees. Deciduous trees have broad leaves, which they shed every year. For example, Oak, Birch and Maple. Conifers have much smaller, needle or scale like foliage. For example, Pine, Cedar and Spruce. Sometimes forests are classified according to the type of tree they contain the most of. For example if you were to go out into a forest that contained mostly oak trees, with the odd poplar you'd be correct in assuming you were in a deciduous forest.
How much rain does a temperate rainforest get each year?
The Coniferous Forest gets about 12 to 33 inches of water each year.
How much rain falls in a rain forest each year?
How much rain forest does a rain forest get each year... Well, I would say that a rain forest can't really get any rain forests in a year, but Tropical rain forests get about 200-600 cm of rain each year, and Temperate Rain forests get 200-400 cm of rain each year.

5000 inches in one year
