Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The biome that is characterized by needle-shaped leaves that help trees shed snow is the taiga or boreal forest biome. This biome is located just south of the tundra biome and is dominated by coniferous trees such as spruce, pine, and fir. The needle-shaped leaves of these trees have a waxy coating that helps to prevent water loss during the cold and dry winter months. The pointed shape of the needles also helps them shed snow easily, preventing damage to the branches and trunk of the tree.
