Eastern forest-boreal transition is a specific biome located between the eastern deciduous forest and the boreal forest in Canada and the northeastern United States. This unique region is characterized by a mix of tree species from both forests and has a distinct climate, with cold winters and mild summers. Other synonyms for this biome include the boreal hardwood transition, the eastern hemlock - yellow birch forest, and the mixed hardwood-coniferous forest. It's important to note that these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same geographic area, which is home to a diverse array of flora and fauna that is uniquely adapted to this transitional environment.
