Coniferous Forest Name: Date: Instructions 1. Read the story selection several times. 2. Look for spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar errors. 3. Find the 28 errors in the passage. 4. Underline or highlight the errors in the reading passage. 5. Print the passage on the lines below making corrections needed. 6. Read your printed passage to ensure that all errors have been found and corrected. A biome is defined as a large stable terrestrial (land-earth) ecosystem The forest biome includes the tropical rain forest seasonal forest and shrub mediterranean woodland Midlatitude broadleaf deciduous and mixed forests broadleaf evergreen, and marine west coast forest two name a few (8) Description between the tundra to the north and the deciduous forest to the south lies the large area of coniferous forest. One type of coniferous forest the northern boreal forest is found in 50° to 60°N latitudes. Another type temperate coniferous forests grows in lower latitudes of north america, europe, and asia, in the high elevations of mountains. (9) coniferous forests consist mostly of conifers trees that grow needles instead of leaves, and cones instead of flowers Conifers tend to be evergreen, that is, they bear needles all year long. These adaptations help conifers survive in areas that are very cold or dry. some of the more common conifers are spruces pines, and firs. (5) Precipitation on coniferous forests varies from 300 to 900 mm annually, with some temperate coniferous forests receiving up to 2,000 mm. The amount of precipitation depends on the forest location. In the northern boreal forests the winters are long cold and dry while the short summers is moderately warm and moist. On the lower latitudes, precipitation is more evenly distributed throughout the year.

On its northern edge the growing season is a mere one month long. The northern coniferous forest of the subarctic climate is known as the boreal forest. To the south lies the temperate forest and the north the tundra.
