Deciduous Forest Research Paper

The deciduous forest is a beautiful biome filled with many plants and animal. Have you ever wondered what lives here, the characteristics, and what it looks like? Well keep reading and find out more. What are some locations? From my research the text states that deciduous forest are located in the eastern half of North America. They are also found in the middle of Europe. There are many in Asia and some major parts of southwest Russia, Japan and China. In South America a major place to find deciduous forest is Chile.
What's the Weather? The average temperature is 50 degrees fahrenheit. Deciduous forest have 30in-60in of rain a year. Deciduous forest are one of the most wettest biomes on earth. The leaves of trees will change color, start to fall, and grow back depending on the season.
What lives here? Many
In a deciduous forest there are 5 zones The tree stratum zone, small tree zone, shrub zone, herb zone, and the last zone is the ground zone. Each of theses zones have an ecosystem in them. One example is the ground zone. This is where animals the can’t fly or climb trees. There’s also small plants. When the sun glows on a shrub that shrub grows. Then a mouse eats the shrub and the mouse gains energy. Later a coyote eats the mouse and the coyote gains energy from the mouse.Then an eagle swoops down and catches the coyote and eats it. When the eagle dies moshurmes decompose the eagle and the circle of life starts over.
Facts about this biom! Animals that live here have adapted to all of the changing seasons. Most animals are camouflaged here. Most trees here contain sap so in winter it freezes with there roots. The word deciduous means to change color. For my final fact flowers produce a sugar to coat their stems so they do not freeze.
Conclusion! Ok everyone we traveled the deciduous forest and learned about their animals, plants, and other facts. I hoped you enjoyed our journey and i’ll see you soon in another
