Why does a search for 'alignment' direct me here? There is no information regarding alignment on this page. Seems like it should direct you to the Surroundings page.

:Because Alignment in this game deals primarily with the kinds of creatures you will encounter and is a function of the biome more than anything else.

− | ::Yet the surroundings page deals directly with the effects of zone alignment, while this does not. By the way, the table regarding biomes at world generation on the 40d biome page has very useful information, should it be added to this table? Or added to one of the world generation pages perhaps?[[Special:Contributions/203.217.90.130|203.217.90.130]] 00:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC) | + | ::Yet the surroundings page deals directly with the effects of zone alignment, while this does not.

I'm calling bullshit on the temperature ranges listed. I've generated plenty of worlds (usually when using strange temperature settings in worldgen) that have, say, cold temperate swamps, or warm tropical forests. I know for a fact that biomes can include temperatures outside the ranges listed, and personally believe there's a good chance that temperature doesn't affect biome creation at all except for rather specific ones (like tundra, glaciers, taiga, and deserts).

According to an [http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3549/interview_the_making_of_dwarf_.php?page=7 Interview] Toady gave quite a while ago, world creation does include temperature (as well as rainfall, elevation and drainage). And I don't think the creation of biomes has changed that much. Remember DF is still in development and the climate ranges in the table are just guidelines how the temperatures ''should be''. The world gen could also be bugged. I don't think toady wanted to have freezing tropical forests, because such things are just not possible.
