1. Deciduous Forest Picture taken by Tiffany Phifer
Forests containing trees that change color seasonally and fall off. Average annual temperature of about 50° and an average rainfall of 30 inches a year.

2. Eastern half of N.A., middle of Europe, Asia, and Southeastern Australia.

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.
Plants include: Maples, Oaks, Hickory
Broad leaves allow more sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis

5. Maple- changing leaves. Oak- black and white. Elm- green.

Others include Carpet Moss, Pecan, Tawny Milksap Mushroom, Lady Fern, and White Birch

6. Animals Deer, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons 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.

Squirrel, Deer, Fox, American Black Bear, Duckbill Platypus, Coyote, Eastern Chipmunk

8. Tropical Rain Forest
A forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. This forest also has the most fertile soil of all the forests and is defined by the amount of rain it gets per year. Hot, humid, heavy rainfall, An average of 50 to 260 inches of rain falls yearly. Temperatures between 93° and 68°.

9. Occurs around the equator, South America, Southeast Asia, parts of Africa.

10. Tropical Rain Forest Wettest and Hottest Biome on Earth!
Over 100 inches of rainfall a year
No Seasons - Soil is very nutrient-poor
More Biodiversity than any other biome
70% of the species are trees

12. These plants help define the layers of the rainforests
These plants help define the layers of the rainforests. The top layer is the Emergent Layer, then the canopy. The canopy layer receives the most light of all the layers. Next is the understory layer. After that is the shrub layer, the light in this layer is very limited so the plants that grow are adapted to survive on low light. The next layer is the forest floor, less than 1% of light reaches this layer. Last is the subterranean layer, which means that this layer is under the ground.

Most live in the canopy because this layer receives more light than any of the other layers in the rainforest. Sloths, leaf cutter ants, frogs.
