Temperate forests 

Temperate forests are largely found between 40° and 60° N of the equator. 

Temperate rain forest (Evergreen): Temperatures are a little cooler, 5–25°C on average, and winters are mild, but there is abundant rainfall, usually exceeding 200 cm a year

Temperate Deciduous Forest (lose their leaves in winter):  Temperatures fall below freezing each winter but not usually below –12°C, and annual rainfall is generally between 75 and 200 cm. Soils are rich in organic and inorganic nutrients, and quite fertile.

Deserts are not very efficient at converting huge amounts of incident energy from sunlight into plant biomass.  Most ecosystems based on phytoplankton have very low efficiencies, usually less than 0.5%.

Photosynthetic efficiency of an ecosystem as a whole varies between 1% and 2%.
