  • Among the first biomes to be converted to
    agricultural use
  • Five layers
  • 1. Tree stratum
  • 2.Small tree or sapling layer
  • 3.Shrub layer
  • 4. Herb layer .
  • 5. Ground layer

Information Sheet on Temperate Deciduous Forests
Temperature average- 75F (24C) - 86F (30C),
depending on altitude.
Precipitation average- 2 to 5 feet (0.5-1.5 m)
each year (rain and snow).
humidity average- 60 to 80.
Solar Insulation 4 Seasons -gt Winter- plants and
trees become dormant.
-gt Spring- leaves grow back and
photosynthesis begins
again.
-gt Summer-
sun creates energy for plants and

heavy growth occurs.
-gt Fall- the chlorophyll begin to
decompose which
is reason for leave color
changes.
Limiting Factors Limited growth season- 6 months
in a year growing takes place. Growth is limited
the other months because of temperature induced
drought.

Location Europe British Isles and France
through central and eastern Europe East Asia the
Russian far East, Manchuria, Korea and
Japan. North America Great Lakes to the Atlantic
Ocean and south to the Gulf of Mexico.
According to the IWC Habitat Awareness Board,
Racky at Risk says.
there are many threats to the Temperate
Deciduous forest, here is a list of some 1- air
pollutants from fuel burned are destroying the
environments. 2- acid rain is destroying the
forests causing plants to make less seeds 3-
human occupation 4- forest fires 5- mining
destroys the land
These threats are causing the forests and animals
population to decrease. This biome is the most
altered in the world and if not stopped future
generations of animals and trees will have no home
