| Abstract from DBPedia | Temperate deciduous or temperate broad-leaf forests are a variety of temperate forest 'dominated' by trees that lose their leaves each year. They are found in areas with warm moist summers and cool winters. The six major areas of this forest type occur in the Northern Hemisphere: North America, East Asia, Central and Western Europe (except Brittany, Cornwall, Wales, Ireland and western Scotland), Denmark, southern Sweden, southern Norway and in the southern hemisphere in Patagonia (Chile and Argentina). Temperate evergreen forests occur in Australasia, New Zealand and southern South America (except for some areas in Chile and Argentina where there are deciduous forests), they are not deciduous as their northern-hemisphere equivalents. Examples of typical trees in the Northern Hemisphere's deciduous forests include oak, maple, basswood, beech and elm, while in the Southern Hemisphere, trees of the genus Nothofagus dominate this type of forest. They are also bound to receive heavy rainfall.夏緑林（かりょくりん）または夏緑樹林（かりょくじゅりん）とは、温暖な夏に緑葉をつけて活動し，寒冷な冬に落葉する樹種が中心となる森林である。落葉広葉樹林の一種。主要構成樹種はクリ、ケヤキ、ブナ、ミズナラ、カエデなどである。この森林帯の北には針葉樹林が、南には照葉樹林が分布する。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Temperate_deciduous_forest) |
