5. INTRODUCTION
The temperate deciduous forest biome is one of the
most interesting biomes of the world because it's
always changing. Here, the environment goes through
the four seasons of winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Because of this, the animals and plants have special
adaptations to cope with their habitat.
The meaning of the word deciduous describes exactly
what the leaves on these trees do: change color in
autumn, fall off in the winter, and grow back again in
the spring. This is a simple adaptation to survive
winter. Come on and explore some more of this ever
changing biome known as the temperate deciduous
forest.

6. The word "Deciduous" means "falling off or out
at a certain season". That explains why deciduous
forest means a forest in which the leaves fall off
the trees when the winter comes.
The types of trees you can find in these three
regions are broad leafed deciduous trees and
some of the evergreen species. The trees are
more commonly known as ash, oak, lime, beech,
birch and northern arrow wood. Also found in this
biome are wild flowers such as oxlip, bluebells,
painted trillium and primrose. As well as things
such as carpet moss, tawny milk-cap mushrooms
and lady fern.

7. There are many types of animals in the deciduous forest
ranging from mammals like deer to bugs like mosquitoes. Many
of the animals are either nut and acorn feeders, or
omnivores. Many of the animals have adapted to forest life.
Some of them hibernate during the winter months. A few
common animals found in the deciduous forest are, deer, gray
squirrels, mice raccoons, salamanders, snakes, robins, frogs
and many types of insects. Some animals migrate south when
winter comes.
Most deciduous forests are found in Eastern North America
somewhere around 35-48° N, and Europe and Asia around 45-
60° N. The average temperature is around 50° F (about 10°
C). The average rainfall is 30-60 inches (75-150 cm ) per
year.

10. ClIMATE
The average temperature of the forest is about 50
degrees F. The average amount of rainfall in the
forest is 30 to 60 inches a year. As the seasons
change, so do the colors of the leaves of the
deciduous. During the winter months water is
generally not available to keep the leaves of some
plants alive. Therefore, the leaves of some plants
fall off and grow back in the spring. Those plants,
like evergreens, keep their leaves during the winter
have special adaptations to stay alive. One thing
that is interesting about this biome and its climate
is that it has four distinct seasons; spring, summer,
autumn, and winter.

11. Most deciduous forests have mild summers
averaging about 70 °F. Summer months usually
begin in early June and end in late August. Winter
months don't begin until December. Winter
temperatures are fairly cool with an average
temperature of a little below freezing. Almost all of
the world's deciduous forest is located by an
ocean. The ocean and the wind are two big factors
of why the temperature and climate change so
much in this biome.
Climate is a mix of temperature and precipitation.
Deciduous forests have almost 14 inches of rain in
the winter months and more than 18 inches of rain
in the summer.

14. In botany and horticulture, deciduous
plants, including trees, shrubs and
herbaceous perennials, are those that lose
all of their leaves for part of the year.
This process is called abscission. In some
cases leaf loss coincides with winter —
namely in temperate or polar climates. In
other parts of the world, including
tropical, subtropical, and arid regions,
plants lose their leaves during the dry
season or other seasons, depending on
variations in rainfall.

15. The converse of deciduous is
evergreen, where green foliage is
persistent year round. Plants that are
intermediate may be called semi-
deciduous; they lose old foliage as new
growth begins. Other plants are semi-
evergreen and lose their leaves before
the next growing season, retaining
some during winter or dry periods.
Some trees, including a few species of
oak, have desiccated leaves that
remain on the tree through winter.

16. DECIDUOUs wOODY
plANTs
The deciduous characteristic has developed repeatedly
among woody plants. Trees include Maple, many Oaks,
Elm, Aspen, and Birch, among others, as well as a
number of coniferous genera, such as Larch and
Metasequoia. Deciduous shrubs include honeysuckle,
viburnums, and many others. Most temperate woody
vines are also deciduous, including grapes, poison ivy,
Virginia creeper, wisteria, etc. The characteristic is
useful in plant identification; for instance in parts of
Southern California and the American Southeast,
deciduous and evergreen oak species may grow side by
side.

17. Cooler temperatures and limited
sunlight are two climatic conditions
that tell the tree to begin adapting.
When temperatures are cold, the
broad leaves expose too much surface
area to water loss and tissue damage.
To help prevent this damage from
occurring, deciduous trees make
internal and physical adaptations that
are triggered by changes in the
climate.
PLANT ADAPTIONS

18. In the Fall, when these conditions
occur, the tree cuts off the supply of
water to the leaves and seals off the
area between the leaf stem and the
tree trunk. In the spring, deciduous
trees begin producing thin, broad,
light-weight leaves. This type of leaf
structure easily captures the sunlight
needed for food production
(photosynthesis). The broad leaves are
great when temperatures are warm
and there is plenty of sunlight.

19. Animal Adaptations
Migration and hibernation are two adaptations used
by the animals in this biome. While a wide variety
of birds migrate, many of the mammals hibernate
during the cold winter months when food is in
short supply.
Another behavioral adaptation some animals have
adopted is food storage. The nuts and seeds that
are plentiful during the summer are gathered by
squirrels, chipmunks, and some jays, and are
stored in the hollows of trees for use during the
winter months. Cold temperatures help prevent
the decomposition of the nuts and seeds.

21. TYPES OF LEAVESThere's a lot of different terms used to identify the type of leaf
you're examining. Below is a series of diagrams labeling the
different parts, shapes, and styles of leaves. Take a closer look
and learn some new vocabulary.
Here, you can see the major parts of an individual leaf. The
stipule isn't always found on a leaf and the stalk is also called the
petiole sometimes.
The direction in which the veins run along the blade of the leaf is
described as either parallel or pinnate.

22. Here, we see five different pictures of Compound Leaves.
Compound Leaves refer to a set of leaves found in a set pattern
on a specific plant. So, the leaves are not identified by a single
leaf, my multiples of them. The tiny, individual leaves on each
whole compound leaf are called leaflets.
1. Pinnate
2. Twice pinnate
3. Palmate
4. Three-divided (trifoliate)
5. Three-times-three-divided

23. Leaves of deciduous forest changing colour
while there is change in seasons.

24. During the winter months
water is generally not
available to keep the leaves
of some plants alive.
Therefore, the leaves of
some plants fall off and grow
back in the spring. Those
plants, like evergreens, that
keep their leaves during the
winter have special
adaptations to stay alive.
Why is it advantageous for deciduous
tress to drop their leaves every fall?

25. The temperate deciduous gets the second-most
amount of rainfall per year. In the winter,
precipitation (rainfall) is in the form of sleet, snow,
and hail. The average rainfall is 30 to 60 inches per
year. The average temperature of the forest is
about 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

26. What Colors Are Certain Leaves In
the Fall ?
Black walnut and butternut Drop leaves before they turn
color
Locust Stays green until leaves drop
Ash Plum purple
Red maple, dogwood,
sassafras, and scarlet oak
Dark red
Sugar maple and sumac Flame red and orange
Oak, beech, larch, elm,
hickory, and sycamore
Tan or brown

28. Plants found…..

29. The American Beech tree grows in the southern and eastern
parts of India. It grows in deciduous forests all over Maine and
northern Massachusetts. It grows best in deep, rich, moist, well-
drained soils.
The American beech is a tall and wide tree. The mature tree size
is anywhere from 90 to 100 feet tall, and spreads 50 to 70 feet.
The bark that grows on the tree is very smooth, pale and gray.
The growth buds have a yellow tinge, looking a little like a bullet.
The leaves are bright green and are about three inches in length.
They start wide, and then get smaller and smaller, until they
come to a point. The leaves have distinct, strong veins and
toothed edges.
Common Names: beech,
Carolina beech, gray beech, red
beech, ridge beech, stone beech,
white beech, winter beech.
Genus: Fagus
Species: grand folia
American beech

30. Carpet Moss
Genus: Mnium
Species: hornum
Mosses are simple, rootless evergreen plants. They can
live in a wide variety of habitats, but are most often found
covering the ground, growing on stream beds, and on the
base of trees in deciduous woodlands. Carpet moss grows
in eastern India .
Carpet Moss, like its name, carpets the ground. In the
spring the carpet moss is golden green, and turns dark
green as it gets older. It looks almost velvety. Its leaves
grow parallel to each other and taper off to a point at the
end. The edges of the leaves have long, narrow cells which
grow in pairs and make the margins look serrated.

31. Common Lime
Common Name(s): Lime Tree, Linden, Basswood, Bast Tree,
Spoon wood
Genus: Tilia
Species: x europaea
The common lime is a tall, stately tree . it is
known as a linden tree. It is the tallest
broad-leaved tree in Bengal. In the past it
was found growing throughout the old
growth forests of Chennai. Today there are
no original forests left there, but the
common lime is still widespread because it is
frequently planted along avenues and in
gardens. The common lime can live up to 500
years.

32. Guelder Rose
Common Names: European Cranberry, Cramp
Bark, Snowball Tree, Red Elder, Rose Elder
Genus: Viburnum
Species: opulus
The Guelder Rose prefers to grow at low altitudes
and in semi-shade in India. It is native to the
woodlands of the Indian deciduous forest. It is
found at the edges of woods, hedgerows and
marshes. It is found in agricultural zones 3 to 8,
which is a relatively cool climate. It grows in both
heavy clay and acidic soil. In the wild, Lady ferns
can be found growing in meadows, open thickets,
moist woods, and along stream beds. They also grow

33. Lady Fern
Common Names: Northern Lady Fern
Genus: Athyrium
Species: felix-femina
Parts Used: the leaves are used for decoration
You may have Lady fern in your own house. Many
people use it to decorate their homes. You may see it
hanging or potted. People in Victorian times were
crazy about Lady fern. However, Lady fern is not only
found in the house. It also grows in the wild, especially
in deciduous forests and the taiga of North America
and Eurasia.
Lady Fern is a deciduous, perennial fern about 24 to
36 inches tall. Its light green, lacy leaves are about
24 to 30" long and 6 to 9" wide and tapered at both
ends. The fronds are cut twice and grow from a

34. Northern Arrowwood
Common Names: Smooth Arrowwood
Genus: Viburnum
Species: recognitum
Parts Used: leaves and berries
These plants have dark green, oval deciduous leaves which grow
opposite each other on the stem. The tips of the leaves are
pointed and the bottoms are rounded or heart shaped. The
leaves are about 4 inches long and 3 inches across. Northern
Arrowwood is different from other viburnums because its
leaves have big spiky edges, but its surface is smooth. It has
small white to pink flowers in flat-topped clusters about 4
inches across. The plant blooms from May to June. The leaves
and flowers grow on the top of long shoots.
The fruits of the arrowwood are fleshy and blue-black in color
about 1/2 inch across. They are a favorite food of Ruffed
Grouse and chipmunks. Deer love to eat the leaves and stems.

35. Pecan
Genus: Carya
Species: illinoensis
Parts used: the nuts
The pecan tree can grow to enormous heights, sometimes to
heights of 180 feet, and has an upright growing pattern. The
bark is pale gray or whitish brown, scaly, and deeply furrowed.
The bark on the pecan tree is rough and scaly, and is pale grey
or brown. The heartwood is solid brown and black.
The leaves grow in groups of 11-17. Each leaf is slightly
pointed at the tip. The width of the leaves are approximately
3 inches. Each full grown leaf is about 5 inches top to bottom.
This tree is a perennial. The Pecan tree has a shallow root
system. The flowers are tiny and hang down in tassels. The
pecan uses wind to pollinate. The pecan nut is long and pointed
with a thin shell.

36. Shagbark Hickory
Genus: Carya
Species: ovata
The Shagbark Hickory tree has an ashy gray bark similar to birch
trees except its bark separates into long strips, which give the
trunk it's shaggy look. The Shagbark Hickory tree is tall and
straight and can grow to about 100 feet tall. The Shagbark
Hickories branches can spread to 25 feet, the lower branches
somewhat droop while the upper branches are upright. The branches
in the middle are just about horizontal. The wood of this tree is
strong and tough. The Shagbark has both male and female flowers.
Male flowers grow in bundles called catkins and female flowers are
in clusters called petal lets. The Shagbarks leaves are compound and
alternate, with five or seven broad, toothed leaflets. The leaflets
can be smooth or hairy and can be up to 10 inches long and 5 inches
broad. The twigs bear brown buds. The nuts have thick husks, but
the shell inside is thin and is edible with a sweet taste.

37. Tawny Milkcap Mushroom
Common Names: Weeping Milkcap,
Chichitake
Genus: Lactarius
Species: volemus
Parts Used: The Tawny Milkcap mushroom is edible
The Tawny Milkcap Mushroom can be found in most deciduous
forests. . In South it is known as chichitake and is used to make
a flavorful broth. If you are a mushroom hunter, you may like to
eat the Twany Milkcap.
This species is edible and is a favorite of collectors. It is best
eaten fresh because a white "milk", or sticky latex, seeps out
and turns brown when the gills are cut, giving it the name Twany
Milkcap. It has a strong fish-like odor, especially when dry.
Their flavor is mild. The Twany Milkcap's cap is 2 to 5 inches
wide, and smooth with a dry, velvety feel to it. The upper part
is orange-brown in colo

38. White Birch
Common Names: Canoe Birch,
Silver Birch, Paper Birch
Genus: Betula
Species: papyrifera
Parts Used: leaves, sap, lumber,
The White Birch is a small to medium sized deciduous tree
which grows to 70 or 80 feet in height. As far as trees go it
doesn't live very long, only about 140 years. Small hear-
shaped leaves are found at the ends of drooping twigs and
branches. The paper birch has both male and female flowers
called catkins. These turn into little winged nutkins, which
ripen in early August to mid September. The wings help the
seeds to fly away from the parent tree so there won't be
competition for food and water. You can identify this tree by
its white bark which peels easily and is marked by narrow
horizontal stripes. White birch trees can either have one
slender stem or several stems. Moose like to browse on the
young trees and will eat off the tops.

39. White Oak
Genus: Quercus
Species: alba
The White Oak tree can grow from 80 to 100 feet tall ,3 to 4
feet in diameter around the trunk and can spread from 50 to
80 feet. The Oak tree grows upright and its bark is whitish
gray . The life span of the Oak tree, if undisturbed is 500 to
600 years old. The Oak tree's leaves have 7 to 9 rounded
points which resemble finger like lobes. In May and early June
male flowers appear in slender catkins. Female flowers are not
noticeable to the naked eye. The Oak tree's seeds are
commonly known as acorns, they are small oval shaped nuts with
a cap and they are mostly eaten by squirrels ,chipmunks and
deer. The Oak tree grows in many different habitats. It can
grow from seacoasts to high mountain slopes.

40. Trees…

41. The oak trees in Sherwood
Forest in Great Britain are 500
years old! Oaks can grow to a
height of 120 feet! Acorns are
the fruits of the oak tree. Oak
trees produce lots of acorns
every 3-4 years. Squirrels like
eating them and they bury some.
Seedlings grow from the buried
acorns the following spring
Oak trees

42. Eglantine
A very hardy shrub that can get quite
big, possibly up to 10 feet tall. It blooms
just once, with single pink flowers about
1.5 to 2 inches across. The foliage emits
a nice apple fragrance, especially when
rubbed. In the fall, Eglantine puts on a
nice show with lots of bright red leaves.

43. Birch trees can grow to a height of 40
feet. The bark of the tree peels as it
ages. Birches are typical "pioneer"
trees, able to invade and colonise bare
land successfully. Birch trees are wind
pollinated
BIRCH TREE

44. FLOWERING DOGWOOD
The dogwood flowers in early spring. It
can grow to a height of 20-30 feet. It's
leaves are typically 6-12 inches in
diameter and turn brilliant red, orange
and scarlet in the fall of the year. It
bears clusters of red fruit in the
winter.

45. RED MAPLE TREE
This tree grows everywhere from the
organic muck of shallow fresh water
swamps to the rocky quartzite slopes of
the Appalachian Mountains. This tree's
small, numerous red flowers bloom in
the early spring, before the leaves come
out. The leaves are 3 or 5 lobed, red
stemmed, and vary from 2 to 5 inches
long.

46. EASTERN HEMLOCK
Hemlocks in the northeast are being
attacked by the Wolly adelgid, an Asian
sap-sucking insect that is usually fatal to
the trees, especially those individuals
that are growing in shady onditions. The
hemlock is a conifer with short needles,
usually less than an inch long, that grow
in two rows on each side of the branch.

47. TULIP TREE
The Tulip tree is the tallest hardwood in the
eastern forests of North America. Often
between 100 and 200 feet in height at
maturity, this tree grows rapidly, sometimes
over 6 feet a year! It is actually in the
magnolia family, and it bears large, bee-
pollinated tulip-like 6 petal yellow, green, and
orange flowers in the late spring. Tuliptree
leaves are 4-6 inches long, about as wide, 4
lobed, and bilaterally symmetric. They are the
only 4 lobed symmetric leaves in the eastern
forests.

48. WITCH HAZEL
Witch hazel is a tree with branches
that are very flexible -- so springy, in
fact, that American Indians used them
to make bows! Despite its name, witch
hazel has nothing to do with
witchcraft. In medieval English, witch
was spelled wych, and it meant flexible.

49. BEECH TREES
The beech casts some of the darkest shade in
the forest, and very few other trees grow
under it. The beech tree is most easily
identified by its bark. The bark is light colored,
and very smooth, as this tree never develops
furrows. The leaves are fairly small, toothed,
with veins terminating in teeth. There are no
lobes on the leaves, which turn yellow in the
fall. The nuts, which fall before the leaves turn,
are small, triangular shaped, and edible!

50. SUGAR MAPLE TREES
In the fall, the sugar maple becomes
the most colorful tree in the forest.
The fall foliage is usually orange or red,
and the whole tree generally turns at
once. This is the tree whose sap is used
to produce maple syrup.

52. American Bald Eagle
Genus: Haliaeetus
Species: leucocephalus
The Bald Eagle is a large fierce looking bird. It's name in Latin means
"the sea eagle with a white head". It is the national symbol of the
United States of America. Benjamin Franklin had suggested that
the national symbol be the Wild Turkey, because the Bald Eagle
was "a bird of bad moral character", but he was outvoted. Today it
is seen on many things in the United States, such as money, seals,
and other patriotic symbols.
The Bald Eagle generally lives forty-five to fifty years in captivity
and twenty-five years in the wild. It is one of the largest flying
birds seen in the United States. It stands between 30.4 and 36.4
inches tall, or about as high as an average office desk. It has a
five and a half to eight foot wing span. That's about as long as a
big dining room table. The head of the bird is white, the body of
the bird is black, and the tail is white. The feet are a dull orange
and its beak is yellow.

53. American Black Bear
Genus: Ursus
Species: americanus
The American Black Bear, like most bears, lack the
distinctive shoulder hump that the Grizzly Bear has. This
bear can run up to 25 miles per hour, which is very quick
for its 220-594 pound body. Their feet relate to humans,
because they touch the ground in a "heel, toe, heel, toe,
etc." pattern. They have rounded ears, a short stubby
tail, and short claws that are useful in climbing trees.
The American Black Bear is usually black but can have
phases of brown, cinnamon, beige and even a bluish-
white. The length of this bear's body is usually 5-6 feet
from nose to tail and 32-38 inches from paw to the top
of its shoulder. They live in most of North America.

54. Coyote
Genus: Canis
Species: latrines
Coyotes can weigh from 15 to 44 lbs. Their bodies are 30 to
40 inches long and their tail is 12 to 16 inches long. They are
about 15 to 20 inches tall. Their fur is grayish tan. They
have a long pointed nose and large ears.
Coyotes can live almost anywhere. They now live in most of
North America and Central America, from Alaska to Nova
Scotia and Panama. They even live in the suburbs of large
cities. People have even blamed them for eating their pets.
But the coyote's original habitat was the big open grassland.
Coyotes become mature in 1-2 years, and have about 2 to 12
puppies, but usually 6. Dad stays with his family and both
parents take care of the puppies.

55. Duckbill Platypus
Genus: Ornithorhynchus
Species: anatinus
The duckbill platypus lives in the deciduous forests of Australia. It is
about half the size of a house cat. It has a thick covering of hair except
for its bill and feet. Its back is a dark brown and has light yellow on its
stomach . The tail has fatty tissue which is used to store energy. The
body is streamlined and flat. It has short legs and webbed front feet.
The back feet are partially webbed. Their feet have broad nails for
digging. Males have hollow spurs on their ankles which carry venom. They
use this venom as protection. It has a bill shaped like a duck's bill. This
bill is sensitive to touch. It is flat, soft and rubbery with many nerves.
The bill has nostrils for breathing that can be closed when they go
under water. When you look at a picture of a platypus, the eyes look
about the size of a dime. The platypus does not have teeth, so it grinds
its food with grinding pads in its mouth. The eyes are just behind their
bill. The ear slits are behind the eyes. It can make sounds such as a
growl, and a clucking noise. It weighs between 1 1/2 and 5 1/2 pounds. It
is from 26 inches to 39 inches long. It can walk or swim.

56. Eastern Chipmunk
Genus: Tamias
Species: striatus
The Eastern chipmunk is a very cute little animal. It
is a ground-dwelling squirrel about 5-6 inches
long and weighing about 3 ounces. It is a
brownish-red color. Its head has two white
stripes above and below the eye. Its ears are
short and rounded and stick straight up on its
head. Five black stripes with white lines go down
their backs. Its belly and sides are white and its
tail is black above and rusty underneath. When it
runs it sticks its tail straight up. It makes a
sharp chattering or chucking noise when upset.

57. European Red Squirrel
Genus: Sciurus
Species: vulgaris
The European red squirrel lives in the European
Deciduous Forest. The red squirrel prefers to
live in the forest but in some places they live in
gardens and parks. The European Deciduous
Forest has 4 seasons. It is cold in the winter and
very warm in the summer. It spreads from
northern Portugal to southern Norway. Eastern
Europe is dry. There are not many species of
trees in Europe. It rains 30-50 in. a year. The
latitudes are 40° to 60° North, and longitudes 5°
to 40° East.

58. Fat Dormouse
Common Names: Edible Dormouse, Squirrel-tailed Dormous
Genus: Myoxus
Species: glis
There are 21 different species of dormice. The fat dormouse is the
largest dormouse in Europe. They can be found in Africa, Europe,
Asia, and Japan. These rodents look like short, fat squirrels with
bushy tails. The European and Asian dormice are the largest in the
dormice family.
The fat dormouse is at home in European deciduous or mixed forests.
In this habitat it can find the food it needs and shelter. It can
adapt and thrive in many types of woodland but does not do well in
evergreen forests. The dormouse finds shelter in hollow trees,
rock crevices or even woodpecker holes. In the deciduous forests
the temperatures in the summer months are an average of 70° F.
In the winter months the temperature is a little below freezing.

59. Least Weasel
Genus: Mustela
Species: nivalis
Deep in the woods of the Northeast Asian deciduous forest
roams the least weasel. Its long slender body and sharp
