Sorry late post..
Last lesson was on coniferous forest (: well i think i like this forest the best as it is very beautiful (: all the trees covered in snow (: Just finished geography common test.  i think the paper was ok (:
Also, im really amazed by the way the trees can grow in despite the cold conditions..they have short summers which really results them to have minimal growth..

i also learnt that the latitudes affect the temperature received in one region. For example, regions further from the equator, near the north pole, they receive oblique rays where a larger area receives a lesser concentration of sunlight, resulting in cold conditions.
It is no wonder that the diversity of plants there is sparse. Only few species can adapt to the climate. Vegetation is very sparse there.

The adaptations of the trees there also differ from the forest that receive tropical climate. for example, the leaves have small surface area, such as needle-like leaves, so that they reduce transpiration as they already receive so little amount of water that is ocassionla available to them when the snow melts. The trees also retain their leave so that they can photosynthesis whenever temperature rises above 6 degrees, conserving the resources of the trees.

I think that the trees is coniferous forest are really strong as it is really tough to live in such harsh conditions.. I don't even think that humans can adapt to such conditions..Which is why i really admire and appreciate the beauty of the coniferous forest (:
