Coniferous Forest Biome â Location, Climate, Temperature, Precipitation, Plants and Trees, Animals â AEN News The climate in the coniferous forest is related to the region in the world where the forest is located. Temperate coniferous forests are located in the temperate regions of the planet with an adequate volume of rainfalls (to sustain the forest), warm summers and cool winters. Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests can be found at tropical and subtropical latitudes, where climate is humid.

- In some coniferous forest regions, fairly large areas are dominated by a single species of tree, while in many places one or two species of conifer are predominant, with other species of conifers and other trees mixed in. The makeup of the forest depends on many factors such as the availability of water, soil type, elevation and latitude (which are

Coniferous forest Coniferous forest, vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in areas that have long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation. The northern Eurasian coniferous forest is called the taiga, or the boreal forest. Both terms are used to describe the entire circumpolar coniferous forest with its many lakes, bogs, and rivers. Coniferous forests also cover mountains in many parts of the world. Pines, spruces, firs, and larches are the dominant trees in coniferous forests. They are similar in shape and height and often form a nearly uniform stand with a layer of low shrubs or herbs beneath. Mosses, liverworts, and lichens cover the forest floor.
