From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I will edit the following piece of the article for the final exam.
The Carolinian forest refers to a life zone in eastern North America characterized primarily by the predominance of deciduous (broad-leaf) forest.[1] The term "Carolinian" has a rich history as summarized here, and has historically referred to the deciduous forest which span across much of the eastern United States from the Carolinas northward into southern Ontario, Canada.[2][3] These deciduous forests in the United States and southern Ontario share many similar characteristics and species hence their association.[4] Today the term is often used to refer to the Canadian portion (northern limit) of the deciduous forest region while the portion in the United States is often referred to as the "Eastern deciduous forest".[2][3][5]
