2. z
Precipitation Range
In a temperate coniferous forest the yearly rain can be from 300 to millimeters (30 –90cm)
Some Coniferous Forest can get 60mm in a month

3. z
Temperature Range
The Coniferous Forest has also been known to have hit –74 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and hit 104 degrees in summer
Summer: 5 –12 degrees Celsius
Winter: 0 to –15 degrees Celsius
The average summer temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius

4. Soil Characteristics z
The soil in the Coniferous Forest lacks nutrients due to the usually cold temperature.
The soil is also very thin in its layers
The soil also contains acid because of acid rich evergreen needles

Plant Adaptation
Some trees that inhabit the Coniferous Forest biome are the Siberian Spruce, the Paper Birch, and the Jack Pine.
Most of the trees have adapted to store more water, retain heat during the cold months, and shed snow.

6. z
Animal Adaptation
Animals: Rodents, Amphibians, Beavers, Geese, and various insects
Some of the top consumer include the Bald Eagle, Brown bear, and Gray Wolf.
They have adapted by either hibernating, changing fur color for the environment, or traveling in packs to efficiently catch prey.

Locations
Coniferous Forest can be found in Canada, Asia, Europe and the United States
The longitude of the coniferous forest in Columbiaville, MI is around and
They are typically between degrees North Latitude

8. Special Characteristics and Sensitivities
The Coniferous Forest is mostly made up of Coniferous Evergreen Trees that contain pinecone and pine needles that have help to sustain the vegetation in the biome
The ground usually is covered with acid rich pine needles
The coniferous forest covers about 15% of the Earth's land mass
The wildlife is extremely sensitive to even low intensity hunting
Most of the Coniferous forest require periodic fires to moderate many environmental processes
