The growing season in coniferous forests is short primarily due to colder temperatures and shorter daylight hours during the winter months. These conditions limit photosynthesis and plant growth. Additionally, the soil in these regions often has lower nutrient availability, further constraining the growth potential of vegetation. Consequently, coniferous trees have adapted to thrive in this challenging environment by developing features like needle-like leaves that reduce water loss.
