Its climate is in the temperature range, hence its name. But the wildlife is unique in its own way in this biome.
Temperate Deciduous Forest is found in all of the continents except Africa and Antarctica. It covers almost 50% of the United States is covered by the Temperate Deciduous Forest. The “Temperate deciduous forests are located in the mid-latitude areas which means that they are found between the polar regions and the tropics(Temperate Deciduous Forest )”.

“Deciduous” because of the leaves’ ability to change colors in the Autumn, fall off in the late fall and winter, and grow back in the spring. All this has to do with its climate. “ the average annual temperature ranges up to about 20� C down to freezing. Precipitation ranges from around 50 cm yr-1 in the colder regions to over 200 cm/yr(The Temperate Deciduous Forest )”. Almost every Temperate Deciduous Forest is located by an ocean. The reason for this is that the ocean and the wind factor why the temperature and climate change so much in the biome. Most temperate deciduous forests have mild summers ranging to 70 °F. The summer months usually start in the beginning of June and end in the late August. The winter months don't start until December. Winter temperatures are moderately cool with an average temperature lower than freezing. The Temperate Deciduous Forests have almost 14 inches of precipitation in the winter months and more than 18 inches of precipitation in the summer. But all of this really depends on where you live in the Temperate Deciduous Forest. If you live in the south, your summers are going to hit 85℉, and in the north, your summers would hit 65-70℉. The precipitation in the south would be around 50 inches and around 30 inches in the north. There are five different zones in the Temperate Deciduous Forest. “The first zone is the Tree Stratum zone(Connie). The Tree …show more content…
Oak trees are the most dominant tree species in the temperate deciduous forest. Many other tree species produce big seeds. Those seeds contain enough nutrients for the seed to allow it to grow into a seedling. Other important tree species in the temperate deciduous forest are the Hickories, Walnut, Maple, Beech, and Sycamores. There are also many animal species in this biome. The most important include the Bald Eagle, Black Bear, Leopard, Fox, Hog, Otter, Mongoose, Warthog, Coyote, Bobcat Badger, Jaguar, Armadillo, White-tail Deer and much more. These animals make this biome unique because of the diversity of the species.
In conclusion, the temperate deciduous forest is a unique biome in the world. It’s located on almost every continent. It also has all four seasons that are equally balanced. Its climate and wildlife are diverse and unique in many ways which makes it one of the best biomes in this

    Being a coniferous area of woodland the main tree species are: pine, larch, birch and spruce. Some of these trees (spruce and pine) are adapted to the climate by having smaller, prickly leaves with waxy cuticles to reduce water loss and do not defoliate in winter. The advantage of this being that the trees may take in all the available sunlight for photosynthesis. The branches on such trees tend to be slightly elastic and bend under the eight of snow causing it to fall off and expose the leaves to the sun. The trees also have very shallow roots due to the continuous permafrost that restricts growth and also slows down the nutritional development of the soil.…

    The natural vegetation regions and soil regions are interconnected in numerous ways. Soil regions as the Tundra soils, or dry climate soils have the potential to affect the type of vegetation that can be grown. Where you would find cold temperatures as the Tundra, you can expect limited vegetation to grasses, mosses, and shrubs. Because the ground has an active layer of permafrost, growing conditions are not suitable for plants and trees. Areas with moist soil as the wet-climate regions, you are expected to find trees and plants resembling the mixed forests, boreal and taiga forest, as well the deciduous forests. The Grasslands are located in the dry climate soils situated in the Prairie Provinces. Due to the dry temperatures there are very insufficient amount of trees, and consisting of large rolling terrains of grasses. To conclude location is a dependent factor on the type of vegetation a region will come to…
