mixed forest
Definition
- A mixed forest is a type of forest made up of both deciduous and coniferous trees, found in Europe and North America. Hardwoods predominate, represented by species such as birch, oak, maple, beech, ash, basswood and many others. Depending on the region, the presence of conifers will be more or less important, with precipitation and temperature playing a role. Examples of conifers found here are spruce, pine, fir, tsuga (hemlock in Quebec), cedar and others. The temperature in this forest is moderate in summer and cold in winter, averaging 8 to 10°C. The soil in this forest is rich in organic matter, fed each autumn by dead leaves from deciduous trees and needles from all kinds of conifers.
