What is the conifer environment?

The conifer environment refers to ecosystems dominated by coniferous trees, such as pines, spruces, and firs, which are adapted to cold climates and varying soil conditions. These environments typically include boreal forests, mountainous regions, and temperate rainforests. Coniferous forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, provide habitat for diverse wildlife, and are often characterized by acidic soils and a dense canopy that limits undergrowth. They are also important for timber production and recreational activities.
