Temperate Conifer Forests

Temperate conifer forests are diverse ecosystems found across various global regions, including the Nearctic, Indomalayan, and Palearctic zones. These forests comprise notable areas such as the North Cascades, Sierra Nevada, and British Columbia coastal forests in North America, as well as the Western and Eastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests in Asia.
