These deciduous forests once covered large areas of temperate Asia, Europe and North America. Superb autumnal leaf colours can be seen in the deciduous forests of Canada and New England. They are not the only regions where deciduous trees are common however, and tree species in many sub-tropical and tropical regions which experience a strongly seasonal rainfall, also lose their leaves once a year with the onset of the dry season e.g. the African Acacia trees. Such trees are common in the savannas and woodlands of Africa, South America and Asia.
