Coniferous Forests

---

Different kinds of forest have different ecosystems.  Coniferous forests cover huge areas but have fewer kinds of plants and animals than any other forests.  Many coniferous forests are enormous; they are some of the last wild places in the northern hemisphere.  Some of the forests in Canada and Russia are half-frozen and the trees only grow for a few weeks a year.  Because the plants grow so slowly, animals need to roam over large areas to find enough food.
