  3. Deciduous Forest Where we live! 4 Seasons- Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer Mild Summers and Winters: Summer months usually begin in early June and end in late August. Winter months don't begin until December. Moderate Rainfall: average 30 to 60 inches a year. Almost all of the world's deciduous forest is located by an ocean. The ocean and the wind play a role in the temperature and climate change of changing seasons.

  4. Deciduous Forest Deciduous forests contain trees that have leaves that change colors seasonally and fall off during cold seasons Carotenoids- pigment produced in the chloroplast during the fall seasons. Gives leaves the red, yellow, and orange colors. Plantsinclude: Maples, Oaks, Hickory Broad leaves allow more sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis

  6. Animals Deer, squirrels, rabbits, racoons Adaptations: -Birds migrate during the colder seasons to warmer climates. -Animals shed fur during the warmer seasons. -Hibernation- period of dormancy and little activity to slow metabolism when food is more scarce.
