Question

A forest that typically experiences low temperatures and precipitation levels, is characterized by evergreen species like spruce and fir, and covers vast tracts of land in the higher latitudes and altitudes is known as a __________.A. coniferous temperate forest.

B. tropical dry forest.
C. boreal forest.
D. temperate deciduous forest.

Answer 1

A. coniferous temperate forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest terrestrial biome, found in the northern parts of Europe, North America and Asia is known as Coniferous temperate Forest and it consists of one third of the world’s forests. The coniferous temperate forest is characterized by temperature range from -15° to 0° and low precipitation levels during winter. The plants such as spruce and fir have needle like leaves with waxy outer coat which prevents water loss in freezing weather. Food is scarce in the forests due to the harsh climate making only omnivores to be able to adapt since they can stay in places with food shortages. Examples of animals are bear, bird wolves e.t.c.

Answer 2

C. boreal forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Boreal forest is a forest that typically experiences low temperatures and precipitation levels, it's characterized by evergreen species like spruce and fir, and covers vast tracts of land in the higher latitudes and altitudes.

Boreal forests are also known as Taiga and they are mostly found in North America e.g Canada and Alaska.

Boreal forests are characterized by strip harvesting since it mimics the natural changes of the forest.
