A portion of the temperate rain forest region of North America, the largest area of temperate zone rainforests on the planet, is the Pacific temperate rain forests ecoregion, which occur on west-facing coastal mountains along the Pacific coast of North America, from Kodiak Island in Alaska to northern California, and are part of the Nearctic realm.
Balkan temperate rainforests are a small portion of the southeastern Alps and Balkan region contain relatively low elevation (< 1600 m ASL) temperate rainforest flora and fauna. Annual rainfall is in excess of 1600 mm, [ 1 ] supporting a variety of lichens , tree species, and animal species.
The Valdivian and Magellanic temperate rainforests are the only temperate rain forests in South America and one of a small number of temperate rain forests in the world. Together they are the second largest in the world, after the Pacific temperate rain forests of North America (which stretches from Alaska to northern California).
The Appalachian temperate rainforest has a cool and mild climate and meets the criteria of temperate rainforests identified by Alaback. [1] Temperature and precipitation are extremely variable with elevation, with rainforest conditions usually but not always concentrated around spruce–fir forests at higher elevations.
the Eastern Canadian temperate rainforest; the European rainforest relicts; and the Australasian temperate rainforest, including the Tasmanian temperate rainforest and temperate rainforests in Eastern Australia and New Zealand. [5] It has been started to be recognized as an “inland counterpart” of the coastal Pacific temperate rainforest ...
Areas of the globe with a temperate broadleaf and mixed forest biome, according to the WWF. A temperate forest is a forest found between the tropical and boreal regions, located in the temperate zone. It is the second largest terrestrial biome, covering 25% [1] of the world's forest area, only behind the boreal forest, which covers about 33%.

Much of the temperate rainforest found in Westland New Zealand has been dedicated to conservation purposes. [ 7 ] Some of the stands that feature rata-kamahi have trouble with die-back caused in part by opossums that like to find shelter within older trees (around 300 years), especially ones that grow on fertile ground.
