Coniferous Forests

Coniferous forests are found scattered throughout the northern regions to the high-altitude plateaus in the northeastern, at 500-1,800 meters above sea level. The climate is relatively cool and dry, with little rainfall. The soil is rather acidic and not very fertile. Coniferous forests may be found interspersed with deciduous and hill evergreen forests, typically dominated by Pines and populated by only 2-3 tree species. Herbal plants found in these areas such as Pines both 2-and 3-needled, Maidenhair creeper, and Namtao lom.
