Zusammenfassung
In the Northern Hemisphere, the dry mid-latitudes, also called dry nemoral zone or dry cool-temperate zone, are situated in the continental centres of North America and Eurasia. In the Southern Hemisphere, they occupy Patagonia. Poleward (Northern Hemisphere), they border the boreal zone and to the western and eastern ranges of the continents the humid mid-latitudes.
