Answers
Answer:
Temperate evergreen forests are found predominantly in areas with warm summers and cool winters, and vary enormously in their kinds of plant life. ... Temperate evergreen forests are common in the coastal areas of regions that have mild winters and heavy rainfall, or inland in drier climates or montane areas.
Temperate deciduous forests are located in the mid-latitude areas which means that they are found between the polar regions and the tropics. The deciduous forest regions are exposed to warm and cold air masses, which cause this area to have four seasons.
Mediterranean vegetation, any scrubby, dense vegetation composed of broad-leaved evergreen shrubs, bushes, and small trees usually less than 2.5 m (about 8 feet) tall and growing in regions lying between 30° and 40° north and south latitudes.
One type of coniferous forest, the northern boreal forest, is found in 50° to 60°N latitudes. Another type, temperate coniferous forests, grows in lower latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia, in the high elevations of mountains.coniferous forest, vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in areas that have long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation. The northern Eurasian coniferous forest is called the taiga or the boreal forest.
Answer:
Temperate Evergreen Forests: These are located in the mid-latitudinal coastal regions. They are commonly found along the eastern margin of the continents e.g., in south east USA, South China and in South East Brazil. They comprise both hard and softwood trees like, oak, pine, eucalyptus etc.
Temperate Deciduous Forests: These forests can be found towards higher latitudes. The areas where they are found include, North–eastern part of the USA, China, New Zealand, Chile and Coastal regions of western Europe. Oak and birch are the common trees of this forest. Deer, fox and wolf are the common animals.
Mediterranean vegetation : The trees in this region adapt themselves to the dry summers with the help of their thick barks and wax coated leaves which reduce transpiration. Since these are found in areas around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Africa and Asia, these are called Mediterranean vegetation.
Coniferous forest: Coniferous forests are a home to softwood evergreen trees. This wood is used for making pulp, which is used for manufacturing paper and newsprint. It is also used for making match boxes and packing boxes.
grasslands : A grassland is a biome, an area of land that mostly has grasses. There are wild grasses, and there may be some trees. Several parts of the world have grasslands. Grasslands are found in Africa, North America, Central Asia, South America, and near the coasts of Australia.
