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.
coniferous tree
Deciduous forest is not the dominant forest type in Idaho. Idaho is known for its coniferous forests, such as Western white pine and Douglas fir. Deciduous trees like quaking aspen can be found in certain parts of the state, but they are not as prevalent as coniferous trees.
Three types of forests include tropical rainforests, temperate forests, and boreal forests. Tropical rainforests are characterized by high biodiversity and warm temperatures, while temperate forests have distinct seasons and a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. Boreal forests, also known as taiga, are found in colder climates and consist mostly of coniferous trees.

In general, coniferous trees tend to grow slower than deciduous trees. Coniferous trees typically have a slower growth rate due to their needle-like leaves, which have a smaller surface area for photosynthesis compared to the broad leaves of deciduous trees.
trees in a deciduous forest lose their leaves, coniferous forests have pine trees instead
This depends on which region of the Earth you are in. If you are in a coniferous forest in the Northern Hemisphere, you would travel south to find a deciduous forest.
coniferous trees never are completlly bare
it's actually deciduous............................... i think
Marine West Coast!
I'm pretty sure it's the Deciduous Forest. Hope that helps!
Deciduous. Coniferous trees have cones.
They are deciduous.
Coniferous or deciduous? Coniferous forests look green,unless there's snow on the trees, then they look like Christmas cards. Deciduous trees loose their leaves or turn brown. The forest would look grey and dead. You can see a long way into a deciduous forest in the winter. You can't do that with coniferous forests. This all refers to forests in the northern hemisphere.
Well if it's a forest, of course there are tress in deciduous forests! Deciduous trees are the ones that change each season, and coniferous/fir trees are the ones that never die that you see in the winter.
Coniferous. These are evergreen trees and deciduous trees loose there leaves as the air temperature and ground temp changes. Evergreen trees withstand all of the changes in air and ground temp, there fore a harsher climate.
These are called deciduous trees. Trees that keep their leaves in winter are called coniferous. Most coniferous trees have needle leaves and cones. Deciduous leaves vary in shape and size but most trees that don't have a needle shaped leaf are deciduous trees.
