mixed forest
Deciduous-coniferous blend zone
A mixed forest contains both deciduous and coniferous trees growing together, rather than being dominated by one type.
These forests typically occur in temperate zones where climate conditions suit both broadleaf trees that shed their leaves and evergreen needle-bearing species: The trail wound through mixed forest of maple, oak, and pine.
