The document discusses broadleaf deciduous forests and the effects of global warming. It describes the key features of broadleaf deciduous forests, including their location, average rainfall and temperature, and that trees lose their leaves seasonally. It notes that global warming will likely cause climate patterns to change and temperature to rise gradually. This could potentially cause many organisms and plants in broadleaf deciduous forests to die out, leading to the extinction of animals that depend on them. The document suggests various actions people can take to help address global warming, such as reducing electricity and water use, using renewable energy sources, and limiting car trips.

1. Global warming is the gradual increase of global temperatures resulting in the change of the global climate patterns. It’s happening because, humans have been, for the last one hundred years sending enormous quantities of gases like CO2 and CFC’s to the atmosphere. Global Warming

2. Human Actions ( Air Pollution ) Depletion of the Ozone Layer Greenhouse Effect Global Warming Change in Global Climate Patterns

3. Broadleaf: ‘ ( broad = something wide/large in size ) ; ( leaf = ‘one of the flattened usually green parts that grow as extensions of a plants stem’) Deciduous: ‘falling off or shed at a particularly season or stage of growth. Opposite of evergreen’ Location: Europe, Eastern U.S, Canada, China and Japan. Average Rainfall: 30 to 60 inches per year ( 750 to 3.500 mm) Average Temperature: 10ºC Temperature Broadleaf Deciduous Forests

7. One of the most notable feature is, that it goes through four seasons, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. Leaves change color in Autumn, fall off in Winter and grow back in Spring. Interesting Facts

8. As we’ve said before, the global warming will cause a change in the global climate patterns. The gradual increase in temperatures will most likely cause the death of several organisms and plants who in turn will cause the death of animals who depend on these plants to survive. Due to Global Warming there is a big possibility that this biome will cease to exist.

9. Recycle your garbage Use less electricity by turning off any electronic device when it’s not needed. Change your energy to ones that came from environmentally-friendly sources. Don’t waste water, only use as much as you need. Use less cars, walk more often. What we can do to solve this problem
