Avian insectivores reduce arthropod abundances in winter [ 16, 26], as well as in summer [ 27, 28], and reduce the mean size of arthropods in both managed coniferous forests [ 27] and deciduous stands in city parks and suburban woodlands [ 28].
Case sites and random forest sites comprised mainly managed, boreal coniferous forests of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway Spruce (Picea abies), with a considerable cover of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtíllus) and lingonberry (V. vitis-idaéa).
All soils perform all functions simultaneously, but the variation in the capacity of soils to supply these functions is reviewed in terms of defined land use types (arable, bio-energy, broadleaf forest, coniferous forest, managed grassland, other grassland and Natura 2000) and extended to include the influence of soil drainage characteristics (well, moderately/imperfect, poor and peat).
We established 39 study sites (out of 213 candidate sites) on riparian FAHs located in mature managed spruce dominated coniferous forests, in Central Finland within a 100 kilometre radius of the city of Jyväskylä (62.23°N, 25.74°E).
Large areas historically managed as meadows have become mature coniferous forest.
The former assumption is easier to control in the study design and to this end we applied selection criteria to the study sites to make them as similar as possible: All selected sites belong to the southern boreal vegetation zone, and in all sites the forests were mature, managed and spruce dominated coniferous forests, characterized by deciduous undergrowth.

Let's say, you have one bird that lives in a coniferous forest and another in an oak forest.
The northern Eurasian coniferous forest is called the taiga, or the boreal forest.
Pine cones and pollen from spruce trees showed that the estuary was dominated by a coniferous forest at the time.
