Panoramic view of the Pontic Mountains in 2007

The mountains are generally covered by dense forests, predominantly of conifers. The Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests is an ecoregion which covers most of the range, while the Caucasus mixed forests extend across the eastern end of the range, which is known as the Kaçkar Mountains. The narrow coastal strip between the mountains and the Black Sea, known as Pontus, is home to the Euxine-Colchic deciduous forests, which contain some of Europe's only temperate rain forests. The Anatolian Plateau, which lies south of the range, has a considerably drier and more continental climate than the humid and mild coast ^[2] .
