List three ways in which conifers have adapted to life in cold and dry conditions.

Conifers were able to perfectly adapt to dry and cold climatic zones, due to which in many places they dominate over other plants. As an example of their adaptation, the following facts can be indicated: 1) the leaves have decreased in size and have taken on a rounded shape, which allows them to store more moisture; 2) they are green all year round, and photosynthesis does not stop even in winter, producing the necessary substances even in the cold season; 3) the seeds are in the cone, where they are protected from frost and drought.
