There is little vegetation because only deciduous trees lose their leaves. Leaves decompose and bring nitrogen compounds into the soil and vegetation appears. Coniferous trees do NOT lose their leaves. Therefore if you were to compare the two, vegetation would happen in the deciduous forest.

Does a temperate forest have coniferous trees?

There is a bit of "transition" between areas of permafrost and the coniferous forests, but yes, a few trees will grow over permafrost. These trees will grow if there is sufficient "relief" in the form of seasonal thawing. That thawing allows soil of sufficient depth to unfreeze and support a larger plant like a tree. Trees would need a little longer period of thawing and enough of the soil to thaw so they can survive than, say, bushes, shrubs or flowering plants like those of the tundra.

How is a taiga different from a desert?

A taiga is a cold forest biome with coniferous trees and moderate precipitation, while a desert is a dry biome with little vegetation and very low precipitation. Taigas tend to have cooler temperatures and more plant life compared to deserts, which are characterized by their arid conditions and limited plant growth.
