  1. The following is from the wikipedia article listed below:

    State Ecology: North Carolina's geography is usually divided into three biomes: Coastal, Piedmont, and the Appalachian Mountains.

    North Carolina is the most ecologically unique state in the southeast because its borders contain sub-tropical, temperate, and boreal habitats. Although the state is at temperate latitudes, the Applachian mountains and the Gulf Stream influence climate and, hence, the vegetation (flora) and animals (fauna).

    Coastal Region: Located in eastern North Carolina, the coastal region is much warmer and more humid.

    Climate: Humid Subtropical

    Geography: Flat coastal plain

    Piedmont: This region includes the urban biomes of Raleigh and Durham, as well as a large area of semi-mountainous, rolling hills.

    Climate: Humid Subtropical

    Geography: Rolling, gentle hills and flat valleys. The Piedmont ranges from about 300-400 feet (90-120 m) elevation in the east to over 1,000 feet (300 m) in the west

    Mountains: Turk's Cap Lily in mountainous western North Carolina

    Climate: Humid Continental

    Geography - The Appalachian Mountains with elevations between 1500 to more than 6000 feet.
