Deciduous Forest

Where Can I Find The Deciduous Forest!

• It can be found throughout the globe.

• Some are found in the eastern half of North America, middle Europe, Asia, Japan, eastern China, southern Chile, Paraguay, New Zealand and Australia.

Climate• The deciduous forest includes four

seasons: – Winter, – Spring– Summer – Fall

The leaves on the trees begin changing color in the fall, and drop to the ground in the winter.

The temperature ranges from 90 or more degrees Fahrenheit in the summer to below freezing in the winter.

Plants in the Deciduous Forest• Plants adjust their growth to the seasons of the year. • In spring, low-growing wildflowers emerge. Once the tree leaves are out and shade the forest floor, many of

these plants' leaves wither and die.• In summer large-leafed plants adapted to low light

conditions, because of the shade from the trees' leaves, grow.
