What makes Canada’s coastal rainforest different from other rainforests in the world?
Nope — More!
Correct answer: A. Canada’s coastal rainforest is different from other temperate rainforests because it has more coniferous trees than deciduous trees. Most of the trees found in this forest are coniferous trees - trees that have needles as leaves, such as the Western hemlock, Yellow Cedar, Western Red Cedar, Douglas-fir, Amabilis Fir and Sitka Spruce. This sets this forest apart from tropical rainforests, that often have hundreds of tree species, but also from other temperate rainforests, in which more deciduous (leafy) than coniferous trees grow. This is due to the fact that coniferous trees are well adapted to the temperatures and shorter daylight hours of the winter as they remain green and keep their foliage which helps then to photosynthesize throughout the year.
