Question:  Give a description of Conifer plants.

Answer: The Pinophyta, also known as Coniferophyta or Coniferae, or commonly as conifers, are a division of vascular land plants containing a single extant class, Pinopsida. They are gymnosperms, cone-bearing seed plants. All extant conifers are perennial woody plants with secondary growth.

The world’s smallest trees probably are also conifers: the natural bonsai cypresses (Cupressus goveniana) and lodgepole pines (Pinus contorta) of the pygmy forests (adjacent to the towering redwood forests) of the northern California coasts. On the sterile hardpan soils of those astounding forests, the trees may reach full maturity at under 0.2 metre (0.7 foot) in height, while individuals of the same species on richer, deeper soils can grow to more than 30 metres (98 feet). Other conifers, such as the pygmy pine (Lepidothamnus laxifolius) of New Zealand, the smallest conifer, are always shrubby and may mature as shorter plants (less than 8 centimetres [3.15 inches] in height) than the pygmy cypress, but with greater spread.

Conifers are Gymnosperms, Most living conifers are woody plants, and most are trees. I believe all are confiners in the order Pinales. Most coniferous trees grow in the northern hemisphere where they form forests, which are called taiga or boreal forests.  Coniferous trees do not produce flowers, but grow cones to hold their seeds.

Why are conservation efforts necessary
AleksandrR [38]

Biological conservation is important for ecosystem functioning. How ecosystems works is the reason behind all the commodities we enjoy. For example, due to dense forests, a lot of water is filtered trhough soil. This water replenishes underground streams, which ultimately allow us to filter that water. It's like forests are a giant and very effective mechanism to catch rain water. Besides, vegetation is pretty important for climate regulation in land, since it produces the oxygen we breath and gives shade from the sun. Any economical develpment could provide the benefits forests give. Noteworthy, forests are able to proliferate and endure, thanks a lot of interctions with microorganisms, invertebrates (like ants or bees, important pollinators). These are a few examples, why biological conservation, relies at the heart of our own population conservation.
