Temperate Broadleaf Deciduous Forest The Temperate Broad-leaf Deciduous Forest are found mostly in the Eastern part of North America. This is where most of the forests have survived. The leaves of these trees change colors through the seasons. The colors that the trees may change are reds‚ oranges‚ and golds in the autumns. The leaves change colors‚ then when winter rolls around most of these trees lose their leaves and the plants around this area become dormant. The climate in this area is very

The article „ Fish in Offshore Kelp Forests Affect Recruitment to Intertidal Barnacle Populationa“ written by S.D. Gaines and J. Roughgarden is about the influence that the composition of kelp forestes has on the recruitment of barnackle. The giant kalp lives in the pacific ocean of America and its composition depends on currents‚ predators‚ herbivores and weather. To study the inshore recruitment of barnackles they took probes of the klep beds inshore and offshore and analyzed the density of plankton
