Global warming is the gradual increase of global temperatures resulting in the change of the global climate patterns.

It’s happening because, humans have been, for the last one hundred years sending enormous quantities of gases like CO2 and CFC’s to the atmosphere.

• Broadleaf: ‘ ( broad = something wide/large in size ) ; ( leaf = ‘one of the flattened usually green parts that grow as extensions of a plants stem’)

• Deciduous: ‘falling off or shed at a particularly season or stage of growth. Opposite of evergreen’

• Location: Europe, Eastern U.S, Canada, China and Japan.• Average Rainfall: 30 to 60 inches per year ( 750 to 3.500 mm)• Average Temperature: 10ºC

One of the most notable feature is, that it goes through four seasons, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. Leaves change color in Autumn, fall off in Winter and grow back in Spring.

As we’ve said before, the global warming will cause a change in the global climate patterns. The gradual increase in temperatures will most likely cause the death of several organisms and plants who in turn will cause the death of animals who depend on these plants to survive.

Due to Global Warming there is a big possibility that this biome will cease to exist.

• Recycle your garbage

• Use less electricity by turning off any electronic device when it’s not needed.

• Change your energy to ones that came from environmentally-friendly sources.

• Don’t waste water, only use as much as you need.

• Use less cars, walk more often.
