Mixed coniferous and deciduous forest in Maine. These forests also go by the names: hemlock-northern hardwoods, and mixed forests. The northern hardwoods are located in the seaboard lowlands and south of the coniferous forests, but there is considerable blending of the two communities.

Because of the forest's great size, and because of differing climate and soils, North America is favored by a rich variety of these "evergreens".
