Desert vegetation

Tundra Vegetation

Answer 1

Coniferous vegetation have trees which are roughly inverted cone-shaped trees with needle-like, cone-bearing or scaly leaves. These forests are found in places with long winters and high to moderate annual precipitation like parts of Russia, Eurasia and North America. Common trees found in coniferous forests are pine, fir and spruce.

This type of vegetation where the annual precipitation is very low. The plants are Xerophytic in nature, meaning they have the ability to store water and conserve water. Common plants in a desert vegetation are different types of cacti,grass and shrubs.
