b. They shed their leaves in fall and are dormant in the winter
c. The leaves are broad for a large surface area available to collect sunlight energy to be used for photosynthesis. ]]> 2018-03-12 21:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/241121403 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/241123646 2. Oak Trees

Parasitism occurs in a deciduous forest between fungi and a tree. Fungus grows on trees and breaks them down for nutrients, this harms the tree, therefore making it weaker.This benefits the fungus and harms the tree.]]> 2018-04-02 20:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247933689 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247935450 2. Mutualism:
One Example of mutualism in the temperate deciduous forest is the relationship between the bird and the deer-the bird eats the insects off of the deer ,so the bird gets a meal and the deer is insect free.

Some insects have developed to look like twigs or leaves. This makes it difficult for the predators to spot them. This benefits the insects and the tree is not harmed.]]> 2018-04-02 20:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247936120 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247936717 An example of a predator-prey interaction is the relationship between a spider and insects. Insects, the prey, get eaten by the spider, the predator, to give the spider the nutrients it needs to survive.]]> 2018-04-02 20:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247936717 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247937219 2018-04-02 20:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247937219 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247937325  The average temperature of the forest is about 50 degrees F. The average amount of rainfall in the forest is 30 to 60 inches a year.
There are also many many trees that provide a lot of shade for the many various organisms. ]]> 2018-04-02 21:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/247937325 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250046353 Deforestation: 
The action of clearing a wide area of trees.

Overgrazing: 
Graze (grassland) so heavily that the vegetation is damaged and the ground becomes liable to erosion.

Water Pollution:
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities.]]> 2018-04-09 21:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250046353 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250047402 2018-04-09 21:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250047402 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250047514 2018-04-09 21:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250047514 1026246160 https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250049513 2018-04-09 21:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246160/zvr03i1us20b/wish/250049513
