Temperate forests have deciduous leaves which use photosynthesis in the summer to make food and fall off in the summer. These trees also have thicker bark to protect their core during the winters. Plants like fern grow during the spring to absorb sunlight before the trees block it out.

# data[].attributes.body
Temperate forests have a variety of plants species found on all levels. On the forest floor there are lichens, moss, ferns , and other small plants. In the middle level, there are shrubs. The top level is filled with hardwood trees such as maple, magnolia, beech, and sweet gum.

The broad, flat leaves of deciduous trees lose water quickly. In the winter when the ground is frozen, it is difficult for them to to absorb water, so they drop their leaves.

Definition of Temperate Deciduous Forests

Here are two different pictures of two different forests, both taken in the middle of October. One picture is of a lush, green forest in Florida, and the other picture is of a forest in New York with red and orange leaves. But why do these trees look so different?

The New York trees have leaves of a different color because they are located within the temperate deciduous forest biome. The biome is unique because the forest is characterized both by the region where it exists and also how the trees respond to that region.

The term temperate describes the area of the earth that lies between the polar regions and the tropics. Temperate deciduous forests are located within this region and can be found in the Eastern United States, Canada, Europe, China, and Japan.

Temperate deciduous forests are characterized as having four different seasons due to the exposure to both warm and cold air masses. On average, these types of forests have cold winters and hot, wet summers. The temperature in temperate deciduous forest can range from -20°F in the winter to over 90°F in the summer, with a yearly average temperature of 50°F.

Another characteristic of temperate deciduous forests is that they get between 30-60 inches of precipitation each year. The precipitation comes in the form of rain or snow and is spread relatively evenly throughout the year.

Plants and Adaptations

The most visibly noticeable feature of a temperate deciduous forest is how the vegetation changes throughout the four seasons. The leaves of most trees change colors during the fall months, fall off during the winter, grow back in the spring months, and are in full swing in the summer. The term deciduous is used to describe this type of forest, where trees lose their leaves at the end of each growing season.

Trees lose their leaves as an adaptation to survive the cold temperatures experienced during the winter. The production and maintenance of leaves requires a great deal of energy, so in order to save energy during the cold winter months, deciduous trees lose their leaves.

The trees actually go into a state of dormancy for the winter. Many deciduous trees also have thick bark to protect them from the cold temperatures. As the temperatures warm in the spring, trees begin to sprout new leaves and continue to grow throughout the summer when the temperatures are adequate and water is more plentiful.

Common trees found in temperate deciduous forests include those that are often referred to as broadleaf trees or hardwood trees, such as oaks, maples, beeches, birches, and chestnuts. Other plants found in this biome include shrubs, perennial herbs, and mosses.

There are spring wildflowers that live in deciduous forests also, but they are only seen in the early spring before the trees have grown new leaves. These wildflowers are only able to get enough light before the trees grow leaves, and once the leaves appear they die back until the next spring.

There is great animal diversity in Temperate Forests. Animals found in this biome include various insects, spiders, slugs, and frogs. There are also birds such snowy owls, cardinals, and woodpeckers. Larger mammals in this biome include raccoons, white- tailed deer, foxes, and wolves.

The largest threat to Temperate Forests are acid rain. This acid rain is caused by vehicular emissions, causing damage to trees leaves which reduces the number of seeds that are produced as well as lowering the resistance to disease for the trees (biotic). Road construction also threatens Temperate Forests as the road construction depletes the soil and ultimately the land (abiotic).

Animals in Temperate Forests much be able to adapt to changing seasons. They must deal with with cold winters and hot summers. Some animals hibernate during the cold winter months. Temperate Forest birds migrate to escape the fleeting cold.
