Temperate Broadleafs and mixed forests
Covering approximately 10 million km² of Earth’s land area, temperate broadleafs and mixed forests usually occur between 25° and 50° latitude in both hemispheres. Toward the polar regions they grade into evergreen conifersous forests, so that mixed forests containing both deciduous and coniferous trees occupy intermediate areas, but in general this vegetation type always contain more or less continuous canopy of broad-leaved trees.
