Mixed Evergreen Forest

Mixed evergreen forests are types of forests that contain a variety of tree species that retain their leaves year-round. These forests typically include both broadleaf trees, such as oaks and maples, and conifers like pines and firs. The mix of tree types allows the forest to thrive in diverse climates, offering continuous shelter and food for wildlife throughout the year. They are common in regions with moderate to high rainfall and provide important ecological functions, including habitat preservation, carbon storage, and soil stabilization. Overall, they are vibrant, resilient ecosystems supporting rich biodiversity.
