Temperate Deciduous Forest Geographical location- The Temperate Deciduous Forest is 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south of the equator. This climate can be found in the north in North America‚ Europe and Asia. In the south‚ the climate can be found with South America‚ Australia‚ and Africa. Climate facts- the average temperature is 50 degrees (24 degrees celsius) and its high is 86 degrees‚ this factor depends on the altitude of the forest. The temperate deciduous forest receives an average

And like I had said before‚ without them the world wouldn’t be as nice as it is today. “A recent study estimated that one acre of wetland can store over one and a half million gallons of flood water.” (Wetlands and Grassland Habitat‚ 2). These biomes produce clean water that is used in our homes‚ that’s another way that they contribute. “Many wetlands help recharge

Ecology and environmental biology both stem from Darwin’s interest and observations upon the distribution of organisms and how they adapted to their specific environment. Darwin concluded that the environment interacting
