Temperatures In Deciduous Forests
The word “Deciduous” means “falling off or out at a certain season” that explains why deciduous forest means a forest in which the leaves fall off the trees when the winter or fall comes. These forest can be around approximately latitudes of 45° N and 45 ° S, and longitudes that range across the globe at about 80° W, 70° W, 30° E, 120° E and 150° E. The deciduous is known for their changes of color and the amount of leaves falling annually. This occurs because these forests are exposed to cold and warm air, which makes them encounter all four seasons. Temperatures in the deciduous are estimated to be up to 50°. They also have precipitation of 30 to 60 inches a year. One of the traits these trees have is thick bark that protects them from cold or really hot weather. Deciduous forests can be found everywhere throughout the world. These forests are in the eastern half of North America, Asia, Japan, Europe, and more areas. Land utilization for agricultural, and industrial use remains the most impactful by humans on the forest ecosystems. There was a time when the Deciduous forests covered about half of the land on earth, but it’s how reduced to one-third due to the forest clearing. Humans also incidentally harm these forests through burning fossil fuels and deforestation by burning the land. The forests in North America had been …show more content…
Trees in West Virginia are mostly Oaks, Maples, and Beeches, and they contain outrageous amounts of flowers. Two main flowers species found in this forest is the Passion Berry and the Blue Lily. In other Deciduous forests, there are more trees such as a chestnut hickory tree, basswood tree, walnut and sweetgum trees. In the ground zone, there can be moss, and lichen. Most of the leaves in the forest change tremendously through the fall season. These plants also find various adaptations to the climatic

    Being a coniferous area of woodland the main tree species are: pine, larch, birch and spruce. Some of these trees (spruce and pine) are adapted to the climate by having smaller, prickly leaves with waxy cuticles to reduce water loss and do not defoliate in winter. The advantage of this being that the trees may take in all the available sunlight for photosynthesis. The branches on such trees tend to be slightly elastic and bend under the eight of snow causing it to fall off and expose the leaves to the sun. The trees also have very shallow roots due to the continuous permafrost that restricts growth and also slows down the nutritional development of the soil.…

    For this Field report, I visited a wooded area that is near the beach in Chesapeake Beach. From a quick glance, I saw a combination of mature trees and young trees. Since I can see that the trees lost their leaves during the Fall, I will state that they are deciduous trees. They shed their leaves through the process of abscission. For the mature tree in this picture I observed that the trunk is darker than the younger trees in the background and about 15 to 20 feet tall if not higher. Walking through the fallen leaves you can hear branches and twigs break and when I touched the soil it did not feel totally dry since it rained the day before.…

    Although most of the areas cleared for crops and grazing represent permanent and continuing deforestation, deforestation can be transient. About half of eastern North America lay deforested in the 1870s, almost all of it having been deforested at least once since European colonization in the early 1600s. Since the 1870s, the region's forest cover has increased, though most of the trees are relatively young. Few places exist in eastern North America that retain stands of uncut old-growth forests. In addition, while some forests are being cleared, some are being planted. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that there isare approximately 1.3 million square km (500,000 square miles) of such plantations on Earth.…
