Features of the structure of shoots and leaves of coniferous plants.

Conifers are classified as gymnosperms. These representatives are real centenarians, they can live up to 4 thousand years. Conifers live in cold conditions most often, and have their own structural features. For example, their leaves have taken on the appearance of needles. They can live for many years and are adapted to inadequate winter water supply and extreme temperature fluctuations. The leaves of these plants are tough and short. The shoots of the representatives of these species are short, which, like the leaves, have adapted to different climates.
