In a deciduous forest there is a moderate amount of rainfall, so the area can support a medium-number of large trees. Because forests are reletively sparse as compared to rainforests, sunlight reaches the forest floor, allowing for moss and ferns and such to thrive near the base. This allows for a lot of plant life. In these areas, summers are hot (up to 35 C I believe) and winters are cold (-10C) so all organisms are well-adapted to living in both warm and cold environments. For example, deciduous trees lose their leaves to conserve energy in winter and bears hibernate in the winter in order to conserve energy they stored in the summer months when food (berries and small game and such) is plentiful.
