Hemiboreal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hemiboreal forest in Latvia. Latvia, like other hemiboreal areas, also has extensive lush coniferous forests.

The hemiboreal forest is a large transition zone comprising the area between cold temperate mixed forests and pure boreal forests. The term is most frequently used in the context of climates and ecosystems.

Hemiboreal forests have some characteristics of pure boreal forests to the north, while also shareing features with cool temperate-zone forests to the south. A significant number of tree species, such as aspens, oaks, pines, maples, spruce trees, ash trees, beeches, birches, cedars (cypress), and hornbeams, can be found.
