Is is palm trees a deciduous or coniferous?
A palm tree [Arecaceae or Palmaceae family] isn't deciduous, because it doesn't drop most of its foliage in less than a year. Neither is it coniferous, because it doesn't have cones. Instead, it's an evergreen, because it takes more than a year to replace old foliage with new.Conifers actually may be seen as a subcategory of evergreens. But not all conifers are evergreen. A prime example is the bald cypress [Taxodium distichum]. It bears cones. But it loses most of its foliage in less than a year.So the 'either-or' question in regard to the frequency of foliage loss actually is 'evergreen' or 'deciduous', not 'coniferous' or 'deciduous'.
What do you call trees that lose their leaves in the winter?
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.
Is a spruce deciduous?
No. Spruce is an evergreen. ------ WRONG!!!!!!! Coniferous trees have small, waxy and usually narrow leaves (needles or flat scales). 'Coniferous' means that it is a cone-bearing tree. The most common conifers are spruces, pines and firs. Alternative names used for coniferous trees are evergreens, softwoods and (appropriately enough) conifers. However, the name evergreen is not really a good synonym. Laurel, acacia and eucalyptus are also evergreens, and although not deciduous, they are not cone-bearing trees (they also definitely have leaves rather than needles). Therefore spruce is not deciduous, it is coniferous
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.
What is the difference between coniferous and deciduous wood?
Coniferous wood comes from cone-bearing trees (such as pine, spruce, and fir) and tends to be softer and more resinous, making it better suited for outdoor applications like decking or fencing. Deciduous wood comes from leaf-shedding trees (such as oak, maple, and birch) and is generally harder and more durable, making it ideal for furniture making or flooring.
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.
