Best Answer

You probably mean what is the "latitude" of temperate forests, since it is latitude (a measure of how far you are north or south of the equator) that determines the nature of forestation. Longitude is how far east or west of the "prime meridian" you are, and temperate forests can occur at any longitude where land in the right latitude is found. All that said, the northern "temperate zone" is nominally between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north latitude) and the Arctic Circle (at 66.5 degrees north latitude), and the southern temperate zone is between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle at the corresponding south latitudes. That means that most of the world's temperate forests are in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia (except for the northernmost and southernmost parts including the Siberian tundra and India). In the Southern Hemisphere Argentina and South Africa are the principal countries where temperate forests may be found (depending also on rainfall).
