How do you decipher a coniferous tree from a deciduous tree?
Coniferous trees produce seeds protected by cones. Deciduous trees have leaves that change colour, usually in the fall, and shed their leaves once a year.

What are four cycles that we talked about relating to the forest ecosystem?
nutrient cycle, carbon cycle, water cycle, nitrogen cycle

What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is when carbon dioxide water and sunlight enter the leaf through the stomata resulting with sugar leaving through the stem.
