What are the distinctive features of a mixed forest?

The main feature of mixed forests is reflected in their name: in such forests there is a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees. Thus, in forests of this type, spruce, maple, oak, fir, pine and others can grow at the same time. The climate in the zones where such forests grow is temperate: warm summers and cool, but not very cold winters. The fauna of mixed forests is inhabited by wild boars, roe deer, hedgehogs, deer, wolves, badgers, foxes, hares and others.
