Coniferous forests are the largest of the terrestrial biomes. Summers are short with mild temperatures; winters are long with cold temperatures. Wildlife in the taiga forests have adapted to the cold temperatures; some hibernate through the winter periods. Plants than can tolerate cold temperatures, such as evergreens, are the prominent specie in coniferous forests.
