	Temperate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In geography, temperate latitudes of the globe lie between the tropics and the polar circles.
		In the temperate zones, the prevailing winds are to the west, the western edge of temperate continents most commonly experience this maritime climate.
		As knowledge of the earth's geography improved a second "Frigid Zone" was discovered south of the equator around the Antarctic and a second "Temperate Zone" was discovered south of the equator.

	CHAPTER 1
		The temperate zones comprise those regions of the Earth’s surface that are located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere and between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Hemisphere.
		Temperate forests are diverse ecosystems composed of mixtures of conifers, broad-leaved evergreen and broad-leaved deciduous trees.
		Temperate deciduous forests are restricted to the Northern Hemisphere apart from a small area at the southern tip of South America and are found where the average temperature is below 0°C for the coldest month of the year but with an average temperature above 10°C for the warmest month [Dansereau, 1957].

	BBC - Weather Centre - Features - Weather Basics - Temperate Climate Zone
		Again, temperate zones which are further inland will tend to get a considerable amount of their rainfall during the summer from convection, that is when the sun heats the ground sufficiently to cause moist air to rise, forming clouds and then rain.
		Temperate zones, such as Europe, get more of their rain in the winter from the effect of low-pressure zones coming in from the Atlantic driven by the prevailing westerlies.
		Although temperate zones account for only about seven per cent of the world's land surface, they are by far the most popular areas in which to live and area home to around four-tenths of the Earth's population.

	Climate Change 2001: Mitigation
		The temperate zone is the most populated zone of the world, while the boreal zone is quite sparsely populated.
		The opportunities present to store carbon in terrestrial ecosystems in the boreal and temperate zones are thus very much determined by historical land-use change and the associated losses of carbon (Kurz and Apps, 1999).
		Understanding the historic and current net sink of C in the temperate and boreal zones is important to assessing the potential of present and future management options.

		In temperate zones, Echeverias are one of the easiest plants of all to grow, with fewer worries about 40C days to take into consideration.

		This zone tends to wet winters, dry summers, which is opposite to their natural regime, but easily managed.

	THE OAKS OF EURASIA
		Europe's temperate oak forest belt, although in a rather fragmented condition, abuts the taiga from the south and stretches from the westerns edge of Europe (northern Portugal and Spain) to the Ural mountains.
		At the present moment, the existence of sizeable tracts (around 100,000 hectares) is known in Chuvashy (the former warping oak groves), in the Tul'skaya and Kaluzhskaya oblasts (Tul'sky and Kaluzhsky barricades), and in the Belovezhskaya forest on the border of Belаrus and Poland.
		In contrast to boreal forests, timbering in the oak forests of the Temperate Zone of Europe is conducted on a far smaller scale and is decentralized, which creates problems for controlling the timbering.
