Nemoral

Eurasian forest biome
Look up nemoral in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

In general nemoral means "pertaining to groves or woodland". Its origin is related to the Latin word "nemus" (stem: "nemor-"), meaning a grove of trees.[1]

It is especially used to label a type of biome (vegetation zone), which is in the temperate zone of Eurasia and has broad-leaved forests.[2] According to the Walter classification system, it has a moderate temperate climate with short frost periods and is characterized by frost-resistant deciduous forests.[3]
