• Brittney Bartley

2
Where can this biome be found?

• Deciduous forests can be found in Eastern parts
  of North America, in the middle of Europe, and in
  eastern Asia

3
Geologic Features

• Beneath the soil there are layers of clay
• The Temperate Forest is usually near rivers,
  ponds, and lakes
• Has very fertile soil because of decaying leaves

4
Temperature Precipitation

• The average temperature of the deciduous forest
  is about -30C- 30C
• The average rainfall is about 30-100 inches

5
Plants

• Maple, Oak, Birch, and Elm trees are just a few
  different types of trees located in the deciduous
  forest, that house birds, different types of
  animals
• Shrubs and herbs live on the forest floor also

6
Types of Animals

• Northern Cardinal Easily spotted, red song bird.
  It is from the Eastern United States, such as the
  deciduous forest
• Black Bear Large, mostly harmless bears. They
  hibernate in the winter, are found across North
  America
• Frog Amphibians are animals that spend part of
  their lives under the water, and the remainder on
  land. Starting as a tadpole, it eventually grow
  into a mature frog

7
Adaptations

• During winter, trees in the temperate forest lose
  their leaves, so they dont freeze and to
  conserve food
• Bears in the winter develop extra fat and fur to
  keep themselves warmer during their hibernation

• In the deciduous forest trees lean towards the
  sun to receive more light to make energy

8
Human Impact Survival

• Endangering the Deciduous Forest, humans cut down
  trees for paper products, plow land for
  agricultural purposes, build residential
  commercial infrastructure
• To ensure survival of the Temperate Forest we
  could carpool more to decrease fuel emission, and
  cut down less trees to conserve the area for
  wildlife

9
Value of Temperate Forest

• To make money off of this biome people may cut
  down trees to produce paper, many wood products
• Many people also hunt animals for their fur and
  for game
