environment

I'm reading about the environment in the world almanac 2008.

Did you know that forest one third of earth's surface? Pines, hemlocks,firs,and spruce trees all grow in the the cooler climate.(farthest from the equator) These trees are called conifers because they make cones.
Temperate forest have a warm, rainy summers and cold, snowy winters. Deciduous trees (they lose leaves in the fall and grow new ones in the spring) are in the evergreens.

one of my reactions was: I didnt know that depending on where trees live that they had a catagory.
