Temperate rainforest

Temperate rainforests are coniferous or broadleaf forests. They are in the temperate zone, and get heavy rain.
Temperate rainforest often occur in areas which have an oceanic moist climate. In many ways, they are similar to tropical rainforests, but they are in areas that are not as hot. 
The conditions are very moist, and more open to light than a tropical rain forest. The lower levels of the forest have an understory. This means that, under the trees, fungi, moss, ferns, shrubs with berries grow.
