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.

Introduction to Animals in the Coniferous Forest. Despite the often-harsh climates and relatively sparse vegetation, the coniferous forest range is home to countless invertebrates, small and big land animals as well as birds.
Animals. Coniferous rainforest biome is a cold area, which makes it hard for animals to survive. Most animals develop thick coats of fur when winter strikes to insulate themselves from freezing temperatures. Some hibernate. Those that are not able to develop adaptation migrate to warmer areas.
Conifer, any member of the division Pinophyta, class Pinopsida, order Pinales, made up of living and fossil gymnospermous plants that usually have needle-shaped evergreen leaves and seeds attached to the scales of a woody bracted cone.
Coniferous forest ecosystems are the largest terrestrial biomes on earth and home to a wide variety of animals and plants. The forest includes a collection of evergreen and cone-bearing trees with temperate climate including plenty of precipitation, whether in the form of rain or snow.
Coniferous forests consist mostly of conifers, which are trees that grow needles instead of leaves and cones instead of flowers. Conifers tend to be evergreen—they bear needles all year long. These adaptations help conifers survive in areas that are very cold or dry.
Coniferous forests are dominated by cone-bearing, needle-leaved trees like pine, spruce, and fir. They are typically found in high-latitude and mountainous regions. How do coniferous forests adapt to cold climates, and what are some characteristic features of these ecosystems?
