Question

Q1:- Which types of vegetation and wildlife
is found in northern hemisphere? Mention
five characteristics of such areas.​

Answer 1

Coniferous trees (fir, pine, spruce) comprise one-third of the world’s forests and are found in northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia in the northern hemisphere. They are generally found in cold areas where winter temperatures go as low as -50 °C.

Answer 2

Temperate deciduous or temperate broad-leaf forests are a variety of temperate forest dominated by trees that lose their leaves each year. They are found in areas with warm moist summers and cool winters. The six major areas of this forest type occur in the Northern Hemisphere: North America, East Asia, Central and Western Europe (except Brittany, Cornwall, Wales, Ireland and western Scotland), Denmark, southern Sweden and southern Norway. Smaller areas occur in Australasia and southern South America. Examples of typical trees in the Northern Hemisphere's deciduous forests include oak, maple, beech and elm, while in the Southern Hemisphere, trees of the genus Nothofagus dominate this type of forest. The diversity of tree species is higher in regions where the winter is milder, and also in mountainous regions that provide an array of soil types and microclimates. The largest intact temperate deciduous forest in the world is protected inside of the six-million-acre Adirondack Park in Upstate New York in the United States.
