2. Where Temporate Deciduous Forests are found Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of the United States of America, and the middle of Europe. There are many deciduous forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of deciduous forests in southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are deciduous forests located in New Zealand, and southeastern Australia also.

3. Geography  The landscape over which temperate deciduous forests grow includes mountains, valleys, rolling hills, and flat plateaus.

4. What humans have influencedon  A lot of deciduous forests have lost land to farms and towns because of the need for more homes. Although people are trying to protect the forests some poachers are trying to kill the animals in the forests for hunting. The animals are losing their homes because of people building their homes so most likely, those species will go extinct. Trees have been cut down to harvest there lumber. Because of what humans have done, less than one fourth of the original deciduous forests remain.
