Conifer Canopy
Go back to Flora
The Conifer Canopy are a group of the five most common conifers, that tend to dominate the upland forests of the region. Conifers are adapted to our climate, where photosynthesis can occur during fall and spring before Deciduous Canopy has their leaves. Our maritime temperate conifer forests are among the greatest biomass accumulation forests on the earth, with trees living hundreds to over a thousand years old.
