Coniferous forests are dominated by cone-bearing evergreen trees adapted to cold climates. They have reduced leaf surfaces and remain green year-round to maximize growth during short northern seasons. Species like pines, spruces, and firs are common. Porcupines, squirrels, and birds consume their seeds. Owls and weasels control rodent populations. Moose are the largest browsing herbivores. Fires, though once suppressed, play a natural role in renewing coniferous forests.

Solution
Land Biomes
These are the 8 different land biomes in order from coldest to warmest
Tundra
Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning
treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little
precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a
nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by
biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation. It is also the driest biome next to
the desert.
Characteristics of tundra include:
Extremely cold climate
Low biotic diversity
Simple vegetation structure
Limitation of drainage
Short season of growth and reproduction
Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material
Large population oscillations
Coniferous Forest (also known as Taiga)
The Coniferous Forest is a forest of Conifers (too much to handle, isn\'t it?). A Conifer is a tree
that produces its seeds in cones. The Pine tree is the most common example. Conifer leaves
conserve water with the thick, waxy layer that covers their leaves, also known as needles. The
vegitation in the Coniferous forest is small in size, but large enough to feed the vast herbivore
population. Most of these animals survive the brutal winters by migrating or hibernating.
Average Annual Rainfall- 14-29.5 in.
Average Temperatures in the Summer- 57.2°F
Average Temperatures in the Winter- 14°F
Deciduous Forest (also known as temperate forest)
Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe.
There are many deciduous forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest
Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of deciduous forests in
southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are deciduous forests located in New
Zealand, and southeastern Australia also.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Coniferous Forests in
the western two-thirds
of the U.S. grow at high
elevations where the
cold temperatures are
similar to those in the
forests across Canada
and into Alaska.
The high elevation
forests are called
Alpine Forests.
3. Coniferous, when broken down means
Con = cone
fer – from Pherien – to bear
These are trees that bear cones.
Conifers include – Pines, Spruces, Firs, Hemlocks, and
Cedars. There are others but these are common
examples.
4. Conifers have reduced leaf surface area as an adaptation to
limited precipitation.
Spruces (left) have needle-like
leaves.
Cedars have scale-like leaves (right)
5. Limited leaf surface area means there will be fewer stomates
and hence less transpiration.
Coniferous Forest trees are evergreen. This is an adaptation
to the short growing season at northern latitudes.
Farther south, in Temperate Deciduous Forests, the growing
season begins in mid to late April and extends through early
October. During those 7 months, trees can make enough
food to last them all year even though they’re not able to make
food during the cold winter. Deciduous trees drop their leaves
so they don’t have to feed them while it’s too cold to
photosynthesize (you can review this in the Temperate
Deciduous Forest Biome Power Point).
6. Being evergreen allows Coniferous Forest trees to
photosynthesize and make food as soon as the weather
warms in the spring. If they, like deciduous trees, had to
grow new leaves, they would spend the first month of the
growing season making new leaves. Because the growing
season doesn’t start until June and it ends by August, they
would only have eight to ten weeks to photosynthesize food.
This would produce enough food to last them through the
year.
7. Mean precipitation in the Coniferous Forest Biome ranges
from 10 to 30 inches. The higher amounts of rainfall occur
in the southern regions of the Coniferous Forest.
In the northern regions of the Coniferous Forests, adjacent
to the Tundra, only about 10 inches of precipitation falls.
Temperatures during the winter may fall to -30o
F and in
summer the temperature may get up into the upper 70’s or
low 80’s.
8.
9.
10. Some species of coniferous
trees have branches that
hang at an angle or “sloop”.
If heavy snow piles up on
them, the branches simply
bend downward under its
weight and the snow slides
of the branches and piles up
below the tree on the
ground.
11.
12.
13. Another adaptation to snow is that the trees are tall
and triangular. This also helps shed snow.
14. Animals of the Coniferous Forest are part of a food web that starts with coniferous
trees. Porcupines eat bark, the sap under it and berries from the shrubby plants
that grow in areas were the canopy is open enough to all them to grow.
15. Porcupines are large rodents. Most rodents are
much smaller. The Pine Vole (a mouse) and the
Red Squirrel tear open cones and remove the seeds
as their staple diet.
16. Many Coniferous Forest birds have
beaks that are adapted to reaching
in between the scales of cones to
extract the seeds. The bird on the
left is a Crossbill. Its upper and
lower beaks cross over which gives
it an added edge on grabbing the
tiny seeds. The Pine Siskin’s bill
comes to a precision point like a
surgical tool.
17. Barred Owls (left) and Great Gray Owls (right) control the
populations of rodents and small birds in the Coniferous Forests.
18. Members of the mustelid family dominate the predatory
mammals of the Coniferous Forest. The mustelids include
weasels, skunks, ferrets, badgers, and wolverines. The
species below are a Marin (left) and Fisher (right). Both are
weasels capable of climbing trees.
19. Wolverines are among the largest predators in the Coniferous Forests.
Weighing in at 50 to 70 pounds, these fearless predators can bring down a
deer or moose and bears generally back down from them.
20. The moose is the largest of all deer. They inhabit the northernmost edges of
Temperate Deciduous Forests and throughout Coniferous Forests.
21. Animals in the Coniferous Forest are adapted to the cold much the same
way those in the Temperate Deciduous Forests.
3.They hibernate
4.They migrate south to warmer climates (the Robins you see in Ohio
during winter have flown here from Canada. Our Robins move to the
coast along the Gulf of Mexico and Central America.
5.They endure the winter and survive the cold. How?
a. They insulate with dense fur.
b. Herbivores dig down to the ground level to find food or they get it
from the tree tops.
c. Some species may cache (store) food supplies for the winter.
Because the winter is so long, there are few ectothermic (“cold blooded”
animals that can survive such prolonged cold. There are a few freeze
tolerant frogs but over all, reptile and amphibian diversity is limited
compared to endothermic (“warm blooded”) animal diversity.
Diversity in the Coniferous forests is higher than in the Tundra Biome to
the north, but lower than in the Temperate Deciduous Forests to the south.
22. Some species of conifers, especially Pines in Alpine Forests, are controlled
by fires. Fires are ignited by lightning strikes. They burn away fallen
needles and dead branches, returning nutrients to the soil. Bacterial activity
is suppressed in the Coniferous Forest because their soils are acidic.
23. In the 1940’s a bear cub with burned feet
survived a fire and was found by rangers. He
became the icon for preventing forest fires.
For 50 years, fires were extinguished and the
layer of needles, dead branches and other fuel
piled up until 20 years ago a fire leveled much
of Yellowstone National Park.
24. Ecologists learned that small fires every few
years actually burn away the fuel and promote
the health of the forest. Some species of
pines have cones whose scales are “glued” by
thick resin that is warmed by the heat of the
fire allowing the scales to open and the seeds
to be released. New seedlings grow from
them and replace the old and dead trees to
keep the forest full of healthy trees.
25. In this photo, the effects of the fire are obvious. This is at Yellowstone a couple
of years after the fire. Notice all the young trees growing to replace the others.
Because the fire was so intense (because the fuel was allowed to build up for
50 years) even the living trees were burned. “Normal”, smaller fires don’t
cause extensive damage or kill healthy ones. The fire burns fast and is over.
