Line 3:
This region does not support deciduous trees or flowering plants, since the climate does not support insects. Coniferous forests also have limited rainfall, requiring deciduous trees to shed their leaves soon after producing them. This makes [[angiosperms]] incapable of whethering [[interspecific competition]] with conifers.
The synonym for coniferous is cone bearing. "I can bear my own cones" A Phrase that meant in the 1950's one who can take care of his/her self.
Structurally, these forests are rather simple, generally consisting of two layers: an overstory and understory. Some forests may support an intermediate layer of shrubs. Pine forests support an herbaceous understory that is generally dominated by [[grass|grasses]] and herbaceous perennials, and are often subject to ecologically important wildfires.
