The differences between deciduous and coniferous biomes.
Introduction:
The life on the earth is sustained by air, water, temperature, nutrients, and energy. The landscape of the earth mainly consists of aquatic biome and terrestrial biome. Terrestrial biome consists of different regions like deserts, chaparrals, tropical forest, temperate forest, coniferous forest, and others.
