Conifer Forest

Conifer Forest

Conifer forests of the northern hemisphere: they are found in the sub-arctic regions and at lower latitudes, in mountainous areas at high altitudes (for instance in the Alps).

The forests situated at high latitudes are characterized by the presence of the holm and the fir; pines, larches and tsugas are instead the dominant plants of the southern latitudes. The conifer forests generally occupy regions that in past epochs were affected by the phenomenon of glaciation.
