  1. DECIDUOUS FOREST by Carmen Moreno Arce 2ºB

  2. Deciduous forests are found in Europe stretching from the British Isles and France through central and eastern Europe as far as the Ural Mountains. In East Asia these forests cover the Russian far East, Manchuria, Korea and Japan and in North America from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean and south to the Gulf of Mexico.

  3. An average temperature 0⁰C in winter and 25ºC in summer.The temperate deciduous forest gets the second-most amount of rainfall per year. In winter, this is seen as snow.

  4. The soil in the deciduous forests is fertile, enriched with decaying litter (mostly composed of the fallen leaves).

  5. A tree stratum15-30metreshigh, dominated regionally by various combinations of oak, maple, beech, chestnut, hickory, elm, basswood or linden, walnut, and sweet gum. Red maple / AcerRubrum

  12. Air pollutants from fuels we burn are destroying forests, killing our wildlife and poisoning the soil. • .

  13. Naturally occurring forest fires are part of the overall plan for keeping a forest healthy Some plant species depend on fire as a seed release mechanism. Without fire the renewal of the forest does not take place. But people have increased the number of fires and put in danger the forest.
