  1. Temperate rainforests are coniferous or broadleaf forests that occur in the temperate zone and receive high rainfall. Most of these occur in Oceanic-Moist Climates in Western North America (Southeastern Alaska to Central California), Western Europe (Southern Norway to Northern Spain), Southwestern South America (Southern Chile), Southeastern Australia (Tasmania/Victoria), and Western New Zealand (South Island's west coast). Others occur in Subtropical-Moist Climates (The Colchian temperate rain forests of the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey and Georgia, New Zealand's North Island, South Africa's Garden Route, Western Japan, and the mountain temperate coniferous rain forests of Taiwan's Central Mountain Ranges). Some areas, however, such as the Russian Far East (Ussuri, Manchuria, Sakhalin) in Asia, the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, northern Idaho and nortwestern Montana, and Rocky Mountain Trench of BC's and Montana's interior have more of continental climate but get enough precipitation in both rain and snow to harbor significant pockets of temperate rain forest. Examples include the Cariboo Mountains, Columbia Mountains, Cabinet Range, Yaak Wilderness and parts of Glacier National Park. The mountainous coniferous forests of the Changbai Mountains bordering China and North Korea are a good example contain some of the richest high-elevation coniferous evergreen forests in Eastern Asia.

    ==============they can be found==============

    Temperate forests cover a large part of the globe, but temperate rain forests only occur in seven regions around the world; the Pacific temperate rain forests of North America, the Valdivian and Magellanic temperate rain forests of southwestern South America, the Colchian rain forests of the eastern Black Sea region (Turkey and Georgia), the New Zealand temperate rain forests, Tasmanian temperate rain forests, South Africa's Knysna-Amatole coastal forests, and pockets of rain forest in northwest Europe and southwest Japan's Taiheiyo evergreen forests. Also, there are forests similar to those in Japan in Taiwan's Montane forests of the Central Mountain Ranges along Eastern Taiwan's Pacific Coast. Scattered small pockets of temperate rain forest also exist along the Appalachian Mountains from northern Georgia to New England, British Columbia's Columbia Mountains, and in parts of Sakhalin Island, Manchuria and the Ussuri Region of the Russian Far East in Asia.
