Explanation:
Temperate Zone
About 25% of the world’s forests are in the temperate biome. The northern boundary meets the boreal region in an irregular pattern at about 50–55°N. The temperate forest within this zone includes large areas of North America, Europe, and Asia. In North America, there is a broad swath of temperate forest in the east, and a narrower area in the west limited by tall mountain ranges close to the Pacific coast. The interior of the continent consists of prairies, steppes, and mountains. Similarly in Eurasia, a large area of temperate forest covers much of Europe in the west and northeast China, Japan, and Korea in the east, with a vast non-forested region in the center of the continent. There is comparatively much less temperate forest in the Southern Hemisphere, simply because the southern continents barely extend below the 30°S parallel, where climates are suitable for temperate forest vegetation. However, there are some temperate forest regions in southeast Australia (including Tasmania), in New Zealand, on the west coast of Chile, on the east coast of Argentina, and in Southern Africa.
Moist broadleaf and coniferous forests are mesic, mixed forests with a rich suite of genera, including maple , oak , hickory , elm , linden , birch , beech , ash , hemlock , and pines ,mostly the soft pine species (that have softer wood than hard pine species). These mixed forests are located in the eastern United States, central Europe, and northeast Asia (including northeast China, Korea and Japan), making up the majority of the temperate forest biome. Northeast Asia has the most diverse tree flora with several genera and families that are not found elsewhere (e.g. Cunninghamia, Cryptomaria, Phellodendron).
