    1. F Block : Temperate Deciduous Forest Jeremy Fathy Claire Hunter Ira Puka Nicholas Epstein

    2. Where is the Biome Found? Latitude: 23 degrees North to 38 degrees South     * This includes: Northeast U.S., Northern Europe, Northeast Asia,and East Australia     

    3. Temperature & Rainfall:  Temperature Range:  32F (0C) - 91.4F (33C) (temperature can vary depending on specific location)    *Temperate = moderate temperature (not too hot, not too cold, great variation due to seasonal changes).    Average Rainfall: 50 - 175 centimeters per year    

    4. Impressions: - Plant and Animal Diversity   - Four Distinct Seasons:     (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) - Abundance of Foliage  - Fertile Soil  

    5. Abiotic Characteristics   -Humidity: High content of water vapor in the air allows large trees to thrive in Temperate Deciduous forests. -Cold winter temperatures: causes trees to drop their leaves and some animals to hibernate.

    6. Plants American Beech Tree:  - Lives in this biome because it grows best in deep, rich, and moist soil that is found in the temperate deciduous forest The Pecan Tree: - Lives in this biome (mostly in the eastern United States) because of the humid climate

    7. Animals: Northern Copperhead: - Uses cryptic coloration to protect itself from predators (appearing as leaves, sticks, debris, etc.). - Their senses are most effective during rainfall, which is when most of their prey are active. American Black Bear: - They primarily eat flora and fauna found in this biome (berries, plants, nuts, and meat). - Able to hibernate during the winter. -Prefer largely forested areas, such as those in this biome.

    8. Ecological Disturbance: An example of a disturbance in this biome is the clearing of forested areas for farming. If the land is then eventually abandoned, secondary succession would occur. First, plant species whose seeds were brought by wind or animals will grow. After, shrubs will probably replace them, and then, large trees will finally replace the shrubs, returning the land to a forested state after many years.
