Answer 1

The answer is A. Adequate water, cool year round, poor rocky soil.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. adequate water, cool year round, poor rocky soil

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are the non-living elements of the environment, but they affect the living organisms of the biota. These elements can be physical or chemical. in the case of a coniferous forest, the abiotic factors will be adequate water, cold all year round, bad rocky soil.

This forest has a vegetation characteristic of the regions of cold and polar climate, with low temperatures reaching 50 ° negative. Thus, winter is the predominant season and the intense snow formation hardly exists in summer.

The predominant vegetation is trees that have large straight trunks and their tops are cone-shaped. The trees have needle-shaped leaves (acyclic) in order to prevent the accumulation of snow. For this reason they must be strong to withstand the weight of the snow, while their branches serve as shelter for some animals.
