Introduction They have a variety of variability in terms of
precipitation and temperature. Where the rainfall is distributed broadly throughout the year, there are deciduous trees that get mixed up with evergreen species. This kind of forest is characterized by species like beech, maple and oak. http://www.premiumessays.net/
Layers Characterizing Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed forests A canopy that is composed of full sized
mature dominant specifies Slightly low later of trees that are mature Shrub layer Understory layer of herbaceous plants and layer of grasses

There is characteristics of most dominant
broadleaf trees. These are found in the northern hemisphere of this biome. They include maples, oaks and beeches as well as birches. Typical coniferous trees on the other hand include spruces, firs and pines. Some regions of the biome have canopy species more important than broadleaf species Within the southern hemisphere, endemic genera like Eucalyptus and Nothofagus are known to occupy the biome. http://www.premiumessays.net/
Region Location They are found in regions that have distinct
cool and warm season. Regions have moderate annual average temperatures of 3 to 150C (37 to 600 F). The forests are found in regions that have relatively rainy and warm climates at times. The regions too have a distinct dry season. In East Asia, there is a dry season during winter and in summer the Mediterranean climate zones have wet fringe climate. http://www.premiumessays.net/
Other regions have an even distribution of
rainfall host this type of forest. Common species found in temperate broadleaf and mixed forest include lichens and mosses and wild herbs. Tree species include maple, cottonwood, dogwood, redbud, hickory, oak, beech, redbud, sourwood, elm and basswood. There are also species which are uncommon. They include creepers such as poison ivy, wild grape and Virginia creeper. http://www.premiumessays.net/
Temperate broadleaf and mixed forest is also
known as mixed forest. This is attributed to the coniferous trees are also included in the canopy component. This type of forest experienced rainfall that is around 24 to 60 inched every year. The best examples of this type of forest include the Himalayan broadleaf forests, Mississippi lowland forests and East Central Texas forests. Some of the plant species that are found in these regions include birch and maple and conifers like firs and pines. http://www.premiumessays.net/
