Vegetation

Very varied  laurel wood with numerous vianes, but less epiphytics than in tropical woods. In Australia typically eucalyptus woods. In the Caucasus, Afghanistan, north Iran and the eastern USA very varied foliage mixed forests with high portion in tertiary types. In southeast China, a global centre of the biodiversity, many original types which have otherwise become extinct, have been preserved.
