世界上最广阔的沿海温带和北方雨林地带夹在太平洋和一系列沿海山脉之间，跨越纬度23度，约3,600公里。在这里，热带雨林从阿拉斯加的北方科迪亚克岛和威廉王子湾（北纬61°）一直延伸到加州的圣弗朗西斯科湾以南（北纬38°;见图2-1）。沿着海岸线，雨林仅限于潮湿的气候，从阿拉斯加东南部和邻近的不列颠哥伦比亚省延伸到内陆160公里，到加州和太平洋西北部的60公里或更短。从不列颠哥伦比亚省南部到俄勒冈州中部，沿着喀斯喀特山脉的西坡，沿着有一条宽达100公里的次级雨林带。
The world’s most expansive stretch of coastal temperate and boreal rainforest issandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and a chain of coastal mountains spanning 23 degrees of latitude and some 3,600 kilometers. Here, rainforests extend from northern Kodiak Island and Prince William Sound, Alaska (61°N latitude)to just south of San Francisco Bay, California (38°N latitude; see figure 2-1). Along the coastline, rainforest is limited to moist climates extending to as muchas 160 kilometers inland in southeast Alaska and adjacent British Columbia to 60 kilometers or less in California and the Pacific Northwest. A secondary beltof rainforest up to 100 kilometers wide occurs along the western slopes of the Cascades from southern British Columbia to central Oregon.
