Soil
In the coniferous forest, the vegetation primarily consists of cone-bearing, needle-leaved, or scale-leaved evergreen trees. These are only located in regions that have extensive winters as well as average to high annual precipitation. Some trees that preside to the coniferous forest are pines, spruces, firs, and larches.
The generally acidic soils known to be a light-coloured in the coniferous forest are called podzols (podsols). This soil contain a tightly packed humus layer (mor) that consists of many fungi. This soil is low in mineral content, organic material, and is also low in the amount of invertebrate animals (earthworms).
The moisture of the soil in the coniferous forest is high because of the cool temperature and low evapotranspiration rates. As for the moisture of the soil, the mineral soils are commonly thin and badly drained.
Coniferous forests can be found in many different states of climate and soil. For example, you might find a coniferous forest in a marshy tropic, while another might be located in a subarctic area. The reason these forests grow in many different places is because the plants and wildlife can survive with heavy clays to poor sands.
