The leaf and needle litter produced by a coniferous tree has a higher carbon-nitrogen ratio than the leaf litter of deciduous trees. This makes the soil acidic. The light-colored, usually acidic soils of coniferous forests are called ‘podzols’. They have a compacted humus layer, known as ...
to the forest floor between coniferous evergreen and broad-leaved deciduous species by analyzing the phenological variations of dry deposition and canopy exchange calculated by the canopy budget model under a high-deposition site near the city of Tokyo and a low-deposition si...
(2022) found that mixture influenced species height in a different direction depending on whether the species was deciduous (positive effect) or coniferous (negative effect). Del Río et al. (2019) focused on ten species-pairs and found that shade-intolerant species had higher height in mixtures...

into a bucket hung from a spile or tap hammered into the tree. Deciduous trees do not produce resin, they produce sap. Sap is more watery than resin, which is thick and slightly amber color. Coniferous or evergreen trees like pine, cedar and Douglas fir produce both sap and tree resin....
137Cs concentration in litter corresponded to fallout volume.137Cs concentration in coniferous litter was higher than that in deciduous litter.137Cs in litter differed more between forest and stream in more contaminated sites.Coniferous litter leached larger amount of137Cs than did deciduous litter....
The other vegetation types include broad-leaved and coniferous forests in the south and southeast and shrub and cultivated vegetation in the east and margin of the east, but the areas are smaller [38]. Figure 1. Spatial distribution of vegetation type and meteorological and phenological stations...
The spectral composition could also vary depending on whether the forest is coniferous or deciduous. Other factors that can greatly affect the spectral characteristics of an area are leaf morphology, leaf water content, or leaf chemical composition [27]. For all these reasons, we decided to ...
