The Temperate Forest Biome - Biomes#6

🌲🌳The Temperate Forest Biome 🌳🌲- a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees found in the temperate regions of Earth. We will cover why these trees grow in these regions, how climate influences this biome, how historical deforestation has decimated these areas, what tree species grow here, and which countries have these forests. It is a video on biogeography in that it covers how species are influenced by climate and topography.

Temperate forests are made up of either exclusively broadleaf trees, with most being deciduous, or a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. They occur primarily in North America, Europe, Eastern Asia and Oceania. Canada, the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, China, Korea and Japan have the most temperate forests, while broadleaf forests exist in the Southern Hemisphere in Chile, Australia and New Zealand.

A large number of tree species are found here, with many being household names - Oak, Maple, Birch, Beech, Willow, Cherry, Eucalyptus, Cypress, Juniper, Aspen, Cedar, Pine, Araucaria (Monkey Puzzle), Yew, Southern Beech, Elm, Ash, Alder and Poplar being the most common. 🍃

Other notable species include the Sequoia or Redwood Trees of California, the tallest in the world, and the ancient Bristlecone Pine trees, the oldest in the world, also found in California. We look at the beautiful autumn colours of the forests of New England, as well as the cherry blossoms of Japan. And we look at how the oak has dominated so much of North America and Europe, and how pine trees are found throughout the world.🍂

And then there are the hardy Aspen trees of Colorado, that light up the autumn with gold, the red maples of Canada that gave that country its flag, and syrup!🍁

Join me on this amazing tour of this biome, the one with the most famous tree species, and, to many, the most beautiful of all biomes.
