Their coats are made up of wooly fur to provide insulation and long guard hairs to keep out moisture. The gray wolf's large paws have fleshy pads and claws for traction and can spread to provide better support in snow.]]> 2018-03-08 21:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/239930920 1026275522 https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/239930922 Trees and plants in deciduous forests have special adaptations to survive in this biome. Deciduous trees are trees with leaves rather than pine needles, and they dominate temperate forests. In the summer their broad green leaves capture sunlight and help the trees make food through photosynthesis.

• drop their leaves when the climate cools. 
• Trees also conserve energy during this dormant period since they do not have to protect the leaves from freezing.
•  Acer saccharum has adapted its rooting system to be extremely efficient in obtaining nutrients and water. The roots of a Sugar Maple tree are strong and extensively branched out.

Mosses do not grow very large, but they have simple structures that function like roots, stems, and leaves. These adaptations help moss plants survive on land, while algae survive only in water.

•  a thin cuticula that protects them against loss of water.
•  They have adapted to life in the rainforest by having their roots in the ground and climbing high into the tree canopy to reach available sunlight.
• They can adapt to environments, exhibiting variations.

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. The average temperature in a deciduous forest is 50° F. The average rainfall is 30 to 60 inches a year. The landforms in the forest are mountains, valleys, rolling hills, and flat plateaus.]]> 2018-03-08 21:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/239930926 1026275522 https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/240613335 Bears  has a heavy coat made of many layers of fur to deal with the winter cold.

It causes them to produce smaller and fewer seeds. It also reduces the trees' resistance to disease, pests, and frost. Clear cutting of forests is also a threat to this biome. Trees are cut for timber and land cleared for agriculture.]]> 2018-03-12 01:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/240668531 1026275522 https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/240668803 Climate change affects the growth of those forests and can impact their productivity. Climate change can alter habitats dramatically. This causes shifts and disturbances which make forest environments unlivable for the native plants and animals.  When the climate changes, species will either have to adapt. They will migrate to areas that still maintain ideal conditions or die off completely in the region. ]]> 2018-03-12 01:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/240668803 1026275522 https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/240670370 Deforestation refers to the clear cutting of forests for the construction of properties such as housing communities or business campuses in which nearly all of the existing forest and species within are destroyed. Related to this is the issue of forest fragmentation, which occurs when only small patches of forest are left which cannon maintain species diversity. Diversity is important for all species to remain healthy and resilient toward disease. This can affect us as well because we need trees for carbon dioxide to take in and then to produce more oxygen. If they cut down the trees and forest the air will become polluted.]]> 2018-03-12 01:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1026275522/plgeagtm4nsx/wish/240670370
