2. Where can this biome be found?
Deciduous forests can be found in Eastern parts of North America, in the middle of Europe, and in eastern Asia

3. Geologic Features Beneath the soil there are layers of clay
The Temperate Forest is usually near rivers, ponds, and lakes
Has very fertile soil because of decaying leaves

4. Temperature & Precipitation
The average temperature of the deciduous forest is about -30˚C- 30˚C
The average rainfall is about inches

5. Plants
Maple, Oak, Birch, and Elm trees are just a few different types of trees located in the deciduous forest, that house birds, & different types of animals
Shrubs and herbs live on the forest floor also

6. Types of Animals
Northern Cardinal: Easily spotted, red song bird. It is from the Eastern United States, such as the deciduous forest
Black Bear: Large, mostly harmless bears. They hibernate in the winter, & are found across North America
Frog: Amphibians are animals that spend part of their lives under the water, and the remainder on land. Starting as a tadpole, it eventually grow into a mature frog

7. Adaptations
During winter, trees in the temperate forest lose their leaves, so they don’t freeze and to conserve food
Bears in the winter develop extra fat and fur to keep themselves warmer during their hibernation
In the deciduous forest trees lean towards the sun to receive more light to make energy

8. Human Impact & Survival
Endangering the Deciduous Forest, humans cut down trees for paper products, plow land for agricultural purposes, & build residential & commercial infrastructure
To ensure survival of the Temperate Forest we could carpool more to decrease fuel emission, and cut down less trees to conserve the area for wildlife

9. Value of Temperate Forest
To make money off of this biome people may cut down trees to produce paper, & many wood products
Many people also hunt animals for their fur and for game

10. Questions How can we save the temperate forest?
What kind of trees live in the deciduous forest?
What types of animals are found here?
Where can temperate forests be found?
What is the annual precipitation amount?
Name one organism & its adaptation to the forest.
What kind of resources can we get from the deciduous forest?
