This biome is located in all different places such as, eastern Northern America, southwest Russia, Japan and eastern China, southern Chile, middle east coast of Paraguay, New Zealand, and southern Australia. There is a great variety of all different species of trees and animals included in these forests. ]]> 2018-11-04 22:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300259623 Flora danielbedrossian33 https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300260792 The various types of trees include:

Harvesting various trees wood for use as timber
Burning trees to get "potash" to export back to Europe to be used as fertilizer
Deforestation
Logging 
Grazing]]> 2018-11-04 22:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300262268 How have humans changed this biome... danielbedrossian33 https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300265065 Because of all human activity that has been affecting these forests we have noticed that less than 25% of all original deciduous forests still remain today. 
Many forests are now split and dissected into small fragments by fields and roads that we have built. ]]> 2018-11-04 23:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300265065 What does this biome look like now? danielbedrossian33 https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300265892 Sadly the majority of these forests are nothing but timber and small pieces of what they used to be. There are only a few full deciduous forests left today but the majority as we can see are severely spread out mainly through human settlement. ]]> 2018-11-04 23:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300265892 How have animals and plants been affected? danielbedrossian33 https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300266435 The introduction of exotic diseases that these trees are not used to from humans has proven to be very harmful to various tree species. Some instances we can see are from the Elm, and Chestnut trees.
Because of our dissection of a lot of these forests, a large amount of deer have had to disperse and have become more widespread. These deer have also grown exponentially in population and this comes with many negative effects. Deer affect the growth of trees, and flowers. They especially affect the growth of yew, yellow birch, and hemlock. ]]> 2018-11-04 23:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/danielbedrossian33/w4393epb528g/wish/300266435
