Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cone-bearing trees, also known as coniferous trees, are adapted to the harsh environments of the taiga or boreal forest, which is characterized by cold temperatures, short growing seasons, and nutrient-poor soils. These trees have needle-like leaves that reduce water loss, and cones that protect seeds from predators and harsh weather conditions. They are not typically found in tropical rainforests, temperate deciduous forests, savannas or deserts.
