'''Temperate coniferous forest''' is located in China a [[terrestrial ecoregion|terrestrial]] [[biome]] found in [[temperate]] regions of the world with warm [[summer]]s and cool [[winter]]s and adequate [[rain]]fall to sustain a [[forest]]. In most temperate coniferous forests, evergreen [[conifer]]s predominate, while some are a mix of conifers and broadleaf [[evergreen]] trees and/or broadleaf [[deciduous]] [[tree]]s. Temperate evergreen forests are common in the [[coast]]al areas of regions that have mild winters and heavy rainfall, or inland in drier [[climate]]s or [[mountain]] areas. Coniferous forests can be found in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Many species of trees inhabit these forests including [[Cedrus|cedar]], [[Cupressaceae|cypress]], [[douglas-fir]], [[fir]], [[juniper]], [[kauri]], [[pine]], [[podocarpus]], [[spruce]], [[Sequoioideae|redwood]] and [[Taxaceae|yew]]. The understory also contains a wide variety of herbaceous and [[shrub]] species.
