Read the paragraph from the section "Temperate Deciduous Forest."

Toward the polar regions, temperate forests grade into boreal forests. These are dominated by evergreen conifers. Mixed forests containing both deciduous and coniferous trees occupy intermediate areas.


What conclusion is BEST supported by the paragraph above?

Boreal forests and temperate forests usually exist in very separate parts of the world.
