1. coniferous tree

   Conifers are a group of cone-bearing seed plants, a subset of gymnosperms. Scientifically, they make up the division Pinophyta (), also known as Coniferophyta () or Coniferae. The division contains a single extant class, Pinopsida. All extant conifers are perennial woody plants with secondary growth. The great majority are trees, though a few are shrubs. Examples include cedars, Douglas-firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauri, larches, pines, hemlocks, redwoods, spruces, and yews. As of 1998, the division Pinophyta was estimated to contain eight families, 68 genera, and 629 living species.Although the total number of species is relatively small, conifers are ecologically important. They are the dominant plants over large areas of land, most notably the taiga of the Northern Hemisphere, but also in similar cool climates in mountains further south. Boreal conifers have many wintertime adaptations. The narrow conical shape of northern conifers, and their downward-drooping limbs, help them shed snow. Many of them seasonally alter their biochemistry to make them more resistant to freezing. While tropical rainforests have more biodiversity and turnover, the immense conifer forests of the world represent the largest terrestrial carbon sink. Conifers are of great economic value for softwood lumber and paper production.

1. coniferous tree

   A coniferous tree is a type of tree that primarily belongs to the plant division "Coniferophyta" or "Pinophyta". These trees are typically evergreen, have needle-like, scale-like, or awl-shaped leaves and produce seeds in cones. They include species such as pines, spruces, firs, junipers, cedars, and cypresses. Coniferous trees can survive in a variety of habitats worldwide, especially in cooler climate regions. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem, providing shelter for animals and helping to prevent soil erosion.
