Question

Trees that do not shed their leaves are mostly found in _____________.

• A. Hot desert vegetation
• B. Tropical monsoon forests
• C. Coniferous forests
• D. Temperate deciduous forests

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Coniferous forests

Coniferous forests are found in the regions near the equator and close to the tropics. Coniferous forests are made up mainly of cone-bearing or coniferous tress. The leaves of these trees are either small and needle-like or scale-like and most stay green all year around(evergreen). All are softwoods and are able to survive cold temperatures and acidic soil. Hence the tress in the coniferous forests do not shed their leaves altogether.
