Detailed explanation-1: -Temperate forests are home to a diverse wildlife biosystem including various insects and spiders, wolves, foxes, bears, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, eagles, rabbits, deer, skunks, squirrels, raccoons, squirrels, moose, snakes, and hummingbirds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperate deciduous forests are most notable because they go through four seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Leaves change color (or senesce) in autumn, fall off in the winter, and grow back in the spring; this adaptation allows plants to survive cold winters.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Temperate Decidous Forest contains many species of plants and animals some of which can be seen on the cycles or the food web and trophic pyramids pages. The amount of species compared to the total number of organisms in an ecosystem is known as its biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-4: -In regions of the world where it’s not extremely hot or cold (called temperate regions), the forests are full of trees with wide, thin leaves. These leaves absorb sunlight during the summer. But when the days start getting shorter in the fall, the leaves become dry, change color, and eventually drop off the trees.
