Two distinctive types of deciduous forests are found growing around the world. Temperate deciduous forest biomes are plant communities distributed in North and South America, Asia, Southern slopes of the Himalayas, Europe and for cultivation purposes in Oceania. They have formed under climatic conditions which have great seasonable temperature ...

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. These forests are typical of elevations below 700 m.
Nothofagus glauca and N. Alessandrii are predominant trees in Maulino forest. [5] Deciduous Nothofagus forests also grow along the Andes of central Chile as far north as 33º S latitude, from approximately 1,200 meters elevation up to the tree line at 2,400 meters elevation. [2] A krummholz of Nothofagus antarctica and N. pumilio grows near the ...
Areas of the globe with a temperate broadleaf and mixed forest biome, according to the WWF. A temperate forest is a forest found between the tropical and boreal regions, located in the temperate zone. It is the second largest terrestrial biome, covering 25% [1] of the world's forest area, only behind the boreal forest, which covers
