	Temperate coniferous forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Temperate evergreen forests are common in the coastal areas of regions that have mild winters and heavy rainfall, or inland in drier climates or mountain areas.
		Pine forests support an herbaceous understory that is generally dominated by grasses and herbaceous perennials, and are often subject to ecologically important wildfires.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Hokkaido montane conifer forests (PA0510)
		The island of Hokkaido is the northernmost in the Japanese archipelago.
		While the lowlands of Hokkaido represent a transitional zone between cool temperate forests to the south and subarctic forests to the north, this mostly upland ecoregion is situated in the cold-temperate and subarctic/subalpine climate zones (Ito 1975).
		The Hokkaido red-crowned cranes are resident year-round on the lowland east coast of the island while the mainland populations of red-crowned cranes are migratory (Swenger 1996).

		The Hyrcanian montane forest is Fagetea hyrcanica with Fagus orientalis, accompanied by Carpinus betulus, Acer insigne and Quercus castaneifolia.
		The alpine conifer forests of China are dominated by Abies faberi and Picea complanata, usually from 2 000 to 3 000 m.

	Palearctic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		South of the taiga are a belt of Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests and Temperate coniferous forests.
		Formerly the region was mostly covered with forests and woodlands, but heavy human use has reduced much of the region to the sclerophyll shrublands known as chaparral, matorral, maquis, or garrigue.
		Central Asia and the Iranian plateau are home to dry steppe grasslands and desert basins, with montane forests, woodlands, and grasslands in the region's high mountains and plateaux.

	Ecoregions of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japan is home to a nine forest ecoregions, which reflect its climate and geography.
		Japan lies at the convergence of three terrestrial ecozones, the Palearctic, Indomalaya, and Oceania, and its flora and fauna combine elements from all three.
		The ecoregions that cover the main islands of Japan, Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, along with the nearby islands, are considered part of the Palearctic ecozone.

	GLOBAL ECOLOGICAL ZONING FOR THE GLOBAL FOREST RESOURCES ASSESSMENT 2000
		The temperate domain is largely dominated by the “Mesophytic deciduous broadleaved and mixed broadleaved-coniferous forests (F)” and the boundary between the oceanic zone (TeDo) and the continental zone (TeDc) roughly coincides with the boundary between F5a, forests dominated by beech and F3 to the east.
		The latter are mixed oak-hornbeam forests and presence of hornbeam replacing beech indicates a continental climate.
		Besides F3, type D8 “mixed forest dominated by conifers” is a major vegetation of TeDc and the northern limit forms the boundary with the Boreal coniferous forests (Ba) to the north.

	Phytosociology on the Russian Far East: Current state of knowledge
		It is commonly accepted that fir-spruce forests represent the climax vegetation of the boreal zone in its southern and middle subzones in the submaritime and maritime sectors (Kolesnikov 1961, Hamet-Ahti et al.
		Spruce forests as a zonal vegetation type are characteristic for the western coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, going west into the continent on a distance about 1500 km, and for central Kamchatka, where they form so-called conifer island.
		A study of Yezo spruce forests on the westernmost edge of their range, in the Tukuringra-Dzhagdy Mountains, was undertaken by Petelin (1990), who distinguished five associations on the basis of 46 releves and proposed the alliance Betulo lanatae-Piceion ajanensis for the continental part of the range of Picea jezoensis.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Hokkaido montane conifer forests (PA0510)
		Hokkaido is situated in both cold-temperate and subarctic climate zones.
		The northern pika in Hokkaido has a very narrow habitat range in the central mountains around Mt. Daisetsu and is of particular importance because it is a remnant of the glacial age.
		The subalpine coniferous forests that once covered the northeast hills and coastal plains of this ecoregion have, for the most part, been cut down.

	EURASIA
		It suggests that there was indeed a net loss of lowland rainforests in south-east Asia, and that the adjacent montane pollen records do not acknowledge this drying; possibly because their rainfall totals are too large to register effects from any similar diminution in rainfall that did occur in the mountains.
		This is interpreted as indicating more arid than the present conditions, which have C3 grassland interspersed with stunted montane evergreen forest (a direct CO effect might also be involved, since the plants themselves would presumably have been rooted in year-round moist substrate conditions in order for the peat to have been preserved).
		Instead of indicating a boreal forest or woodland environment, the species which occur are typical of the "mammoth tundra-steppe" assemblage (including Saiga, Mammuthus and Equus) which occur in the treeless LGM landscapes further west, for which better pollen evidence is available.
