Temperate forests are made up of either exclusively broadleaf trees, with most being deciduous, or a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. They occur primarily in North America, Europe, Eastern Asia and Oceania. Canada, the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, China, Korea and Japan have the most temperate forests, while broadleaf forests exist in the Southern Hemisphere in Chile, Australia and New Zealand.
A large number of tree species are found here, with many being household names - Oak, Maple, Birch, Beech, Willow, Cherry, Eucalyptus, Cypress, Juniper, Aspen, Cedar, Pine, Araucaria (Monkey Puzzle), Yew, Southern Beech, Elm, Ash, Alder and Poplar being the most common. π
Other notable species include the Sequoia or Redwood Trees of California, the tallest in the world, and the ancient Bristlecone Pine trees, the oldest in the world, also found in California. We look at the beautiful autumn colours of the forests of New England, as well as the cherry blossoms of Japan. And we look at how the oak has dominated so much of North America and Europe, and how pine trees are found throughout the world.π
And then there are the hardy Aspen trees of Colorado, that light up the autumn with gold, the red maples of Canada that gave that country its flag, and syrup!π
Join me on this amazing tour of this biome, the one with the most famous tree species, and, to many, the most beautiful of all biomes.

Hi! Another very important endemic species of Chile, which makes up the Chilean temperate rainforest, is the "CoigΓΌe de Magallanes" (Nothofagus betuloides) it is a subpolar plant species that even inhabits the Cape Horn Archipelago, making it the southernmost forest in the world. (NatGeo)

I live in the tropics, in the eternal summer. I have a great admiration for the deciduous trees, I haven't had the fortune of experience a true autumn into a deciduous forest, but the pictures I've saw of deciduous trees during the fall foliage peak are so spectacular. The deciduous trees in the tropics don't experience that change in color in that way. Thanks so much for bring us so special, beautiful, artistic and well-prepared work. (as always!!) Thanks for this awesome journey through the temperate forests of Earth, I loved it! You always surprise me! ππ

As someone who grew up wondering around the woods near my home in the southeastern US, I can't help but love the forests.

Living in Germany, temperate forestβs are our home and our origin. The trees are very big, individual and majestic. The oak is one of the symbols of Germany and itβs very cool to have a lot of them around here. Especially the big and old ones are truly fascinating. They give me the feeling, that nothing can destroy them (except of the good old chainsaw).

This and your other videos about biomes are just relaxing.

My birth home was a 1791 log cabin in upstate ny, on an old indian 'highway'. The woods imprinted on me. Its where i find peace.

One of my fave biomes

I don't understand why this channel is so underrated .I really wish this channel becomes a channel with millions of subscribers

I don't think I'd want to live anywhere that doesn't have 4 seasons. I think the variety is so beautiful!

I am so happy to be living in the Pacific Northwest. I love the rainforest here

Genuinely amazing video start to finish

The most beautiful part of earth! Love you temperate forests. β€οΈπ³

We are doing a science unit in our homeschool about the Biomes of the Earth and these videos are just perfect! Thank you so much for your hard work on these. We live in a mixed temperate forest and I think this is our favorite biome.

Thank you for including my photographs of the majestic Cedar tree in Valentines Park, Ilford (nowadays a suburb in north-east London) and for crediting me. When I took this images I never dreamt of such use, but am absolutely delighted that it happened. Simon

What a fantastic documentary. Informative yet relaxing with fantastic visuals and a wonderful tone to your voice. Letting the trees speak for themselves at the end was a wonderful touch to end on. All of your videos are excellent my friend. Thank you!

I am grateful to live on this miraculous planet.

My home biome! There are many forests where i live, but they are sadly under attack.

Fantastic. Wonderful music alongside the trees.

Seattle area does have a very rainforest type feel even though only the Olympic peninsula is. The continuous light rain which can go without much of a break for hours, days and even weeks has lead to some social phenomena for example locals never use an umbrella and will point out the tourists or new residents by the use of an umbrella, another most serious impact although less common in Vancouver BC or Portland is called the "Seattle Freeze" where people spend so much time indoors that they become socially disconnected and difficult to make intermate friendships with , although the internet has eased somewhat but as a result Seattle has the highest percent of people who read books in the USA and perhaps one of the highest in the world which may have lead to the highest level of educated population... Funny how something as simple as rain style may have lead to such a deep social impact. In addition due to the rainfall and heavy tree coverage will lead the the roof of your house, anything you leave outdoors, sidewalks and your car will be impacted by moss growth if left without use for as little as a few weeks mostly in Spring time.
