Temperate Coniferous Forests

Stretching from the Pacific Northwest in North America to Scandinavia and Japan, these forests are defined by a dominant presence of cone-bearing trees like pine, fir, and cedar. The climate is typically cool and wet, supporting diverse wildlife from spotted owls to grizzly bears. These forests play an integral role in timber production and provide vital habitats and carbon storage.
