Deciduous forests are mainly found in temporal climates. The loss of leaves in the fall is the simplest identifying characteristic a deciduous tree. There are many, many organisms that live in these types of forests...

animals: Deer, salamanders, rats, mice, chipmunks, squirrels, raccoon, fox, birds (i.e. cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees, etc), snakes, many insects, bear, wolves, coyote, mink... too many to list probably!

plants etc: deciduous trees (maple, oak, beech, elm, dogwood, hickory, poplar... lots of others), pine depending on the age of the forest (an older growth deciduous forest will have fewer pines), lichen, fungii (VERY important!), shrubs, flowers... the list goes on.

Further, let's not forget all of the microorganisms and bacteria that are essential to a healthy ecosystem!
