Temperate deciduous forests occupy a central positionamong the world's biomes, occurring in regions of intermediatetemperature, precipitation and latitude. They arebracketed geographically by biomes that are more extremein climate, productivity and diversity: boreal forest and tundra to the colder high latitudes; temperate coniferous forests.and grasslands toward the drier climate zones; and tropicalforests in warmer regions (Reich and Bolstad, 2001). Forestvegetation is classified by broad climate zones (tropical,temperate, boreal) and by leaf form and habit (broad versusneedle-leafed forest, evergreen versus deciduous). Temperateforests are considered one of the five dominant foresttypes, along with boreal forest, temperate mixed or coniferousforests, subtropical/tropical wet forests, and subtropical/tropical dry forests. Generally, a forest is consideredtemperate if it is found in a climate with a warm summerand a markedly cool or cold winter. Typically, temperateforests are found between 3 and 18 °C mean annual temperature,with midwinter mean monthly temperatures generallybelow 8 °C and midsummer mean monthly temperaturesgenerally above 18 °C.Temperate forests occupy much of North America, Europe,Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and a small partof South America, but those in the southern hemisphereare almost exclusively evergreen, so temperate deciduousforests are generally restricted to mid-latitudinal belts inthe Northern Hemisphere.
The Temperate Deciduous Forest has many trees, such as the Maple, Elm, Brasswood, and more. It also has a diverse amount of flowers (mostly springtime) and animals. The animals include Black Bears, Foxes, Squirrels, etc. The soil it very rich, so it supports much plant life.~Shi
The characteristics of a temperate forest are:
- varied temperatures ranging from -30 degrees C to 30 degrees C
- annual precipitation ranging from 75-150cm
- fertile enriched soil
- moderately dense canopy
- flora characterized by 3-4 tree species per square kilometer
- fauna represents squirrels, rabbits, skunks, birds, deer, mountain lion, bobcat, timber wolf, fox, and black bear

-Trees are cone-shaped to allow snow to slide off easily
-Leaves are small and needle-like to reduce water loss
-Trees are evergreen
-It has 1 layered vegetation
-It has 1 variety of cone-shaped trees
The temperate decidouos forest tree leaves turn brown, orange and yellow in the fall; it has 4 distinct season : summer, winter, fall, spring; there is a wide variety of organisms living there, different plants live there, the climate is hot in summer, cool in fall, cold in winter, cool/warm in spring.
A forest characterized by trees that seasonally shed their leaves.
Piine trees are the main trees found in these types of forest
It has alot of trees.

How much precipitation is found in temperature deciduous forest
yes, i myself live in the temperate deciduous forest and I've seen some owls here and there. hope this helps
some consumers in the deciduous forest are: - bird - monkey - mushroom
deer
Decomposers in a temperate deciduous forest are: Fungi, Bacteria, Earth Worms, Fly maggots.
Depends on the plant. Some species are adapted to the tundra, and some to the forest. They would do best in the climate they were adapted to.
There are a great many threats to the temperate deciduous forest. Deforestation and clearing for farming are major threats.

hilly in some parts and a little flat in other parts
Squirrels, voles, mice, sparrows, and raccoons are some of the many creatures found in deciduous forests.
The Northeast Asian deciduous forest is located on the continent of Asia, and covers parts of Korea, China, Russia, and Japan. Some geographic landforms found in this forest are mountains, hills, lakes, ponds and streams.
Actually, dogwoods live in temperate deciduous forests. Dogwoods like lots of sun, so they might be able to live in some forest. Temperate rainforest are usually way far north and the dogwood would not survive. The dog is not a conifer so it loses it leaves in the fall. The dogwood blooms in the spring.
Some biotics in the deciduous forest are the animals that live there
well, it has 4 seasons , cold winters and HOT summers , and they are located all over the world.
Cold temperatures in the temperate deciduous forest limit the amount that trees can grow in a year. They go into a period of dormancy and only actively grow during warmer temperatures.
some consumers in the deciduous forest are: - bird - monkey - mushroom
Yes it can do in some areas.
there are air,water,and soil are some abiotic factors in a deciduous forest
