Conifers (Pinopsida) - PictureThis

Conifers

Conifers are predominately cone-bearing trees that thrive in colder climates, characterized by needle-like leaves often densely arranged. These adaptations minimize water loss and efficiently capture sunlight, essential in their often harsh, nutrient-poor habitats. The tough, waxy coatings of their leaves and their deep-root systems enable conifers to withstand extreme weather and soil conditions.
