The coniferous forest is located in Canada, Europe, Asia, and the United States. The temperature ranges from -40 Celsius to 20 Celsius. Average summer temperature is 10 Celsius. Yearly precipitation varies from 30 to 90 centimeters per year. Coniferous forest regions have cold, long, snowy winters, and warm, humid summers. They have well-defined seasons, and at least four to six frost-free months. There are two types of Coniferous forests: 1. Open, lichen woodland, which has trees, spaced far apart

The taiga biome goes by many different names, including the boreal forest and coniferous forest. The taiga has short summers, with an average of fifty seven degrees Fahrenheit and fourteen degrees Celsius. Winters are cold and snowy in the forests, with the average temperature at about fourteen degrees Fahrenheit or negative ten degrees Celsius. These coniferous forests are most often and abundantly found near the top of the world, just under the main tundra biome. Taigas span across Eurasia and

contains many different types of communities in them. The California floristic province has the coniferous forest biome, the oak woodland biome, the grassland and marshland biome, and the chaparral and coastal sage scrub biome. The Great Basin and Sonoran floristic province has the desert scrublands and woodlands biome. All of the five biomes (Map #2) in California have different climates. The Coniferous forest is highland with a cool or warm Mediterranean, while the Oak woodlands is semi-arid, but

The climate is continental with cold winters -18°C and warm summers averaging to about 25°C. Coniferous forestry includes sugar maple, white pine, and red pine.

however, probably first appeared in the Late Miocene (11.2 to 5.3 million years ago) or Early Pliocene (5.3 to 3.4 million years ago). Coniferous forests were present on Ellesmere Island and in northern Greenland, the northernmost land areas, in the mid-Pliocene (2.5 million years ago). Most paleoecologists believe that tundra flora evolved from plants of the coniferous forests and alpine areas as continents drifted into higher and cooler latitudes during the Miocene (23.7 to 5.3 million years ago).

UNIT 1 EDEXCEL GEOGRAPHY MAY 2010 QUESTION 8 a) Suggest why some groups and communities view the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet as an opportunity rather than a threat. (10) Some groups and communities view the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet as an opportunity rather than a threat because the melting ice creates some commercial advantages for the Arctic region; the Northern Sea Route, North of Canada, is the quickest way of travelling from Europe to the Pacific and Asia. This also increases

Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rocks exposed by a retreating glacier. The first inhabitants are lichens or plants-those that can survive in such an environment . Over hundreds of years these “pioneer species” convert the rock into soil that support simple plants such as grasses. These grasses further modify the soil, which is then colonized by other types of plants. Each successive stage modifies the habitat by altering the amount of shade and the composition of the soil
