PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Coniferous forests are found in areas with warm summers and cool winters. Temperate coniferous forests are present in the lower parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.

Conifer trees are always grown in temperate coniferous forests. Spruce, pine, and fir trees are conifer trees. Both needleleef and broadleaf trees thrive here.

These forests contain the most amounts of biomass of all terrestrial ecosystems. Biomass is the mass made of living things.

Insects are the most common organisms here. Consumers such as Siberian tigers, wolves, and bears live in temperate coniferous forests. Deer and elk are two types of herbivores that live in coniferous forests

Insects, fir trees, deer, elk, and wolves are biotic factors. The abiotic factors are the soil, air, rocks, temperature, and water. The abiotic factors provide for the biotic factors.
Forests in the Colorado Rockies are temperate coniferous forests.

Before the 1940's, Siberian tigers lived throughout Korea, northern China, and the eastern parts of Russia. Logging destroyed most of their habitats. Poaching also caused a decline in the amur tiger population.

To solve this, logging must be hindered, and Russia's government needs to eliminate poaching

Russia and China have made progress in this respect

Carrying Capacity is the maximum population a ecosystem can uphold. Rabbit populations have decreased because the carrying capacity of temperate coniferous forests has decreased due to habitat loss. Amur tigers are endangered due to a low carrying capacity caused by a lack of primary consumers.
