Detailed explanation-1: -Deciduous forests are also called temperate deciduous forests or temperate forests. The dominant trees in deciduous forests are oaks, beeches, birches, chestnuts, aspens, elms, maples, and basswoods (or lindens). They vary in shape and height and form dense growths that let little light through the leafy canopy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The corresponding biome is the Deciduous Forest, or Temperate Forest biome. Such forests occur between approximately 25 ° and 50 ° latitude in both hemispheres. One thing that is interesting about this biome and its climate is that it has four distinct seasons; spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles and salamanders are common. In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are found in this biome. Mammals in North American temperate deciduous forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Temperate deciduous forests are located in the mid-latitude areas which means that they are found between the polar regions and the tropics. The deciduous forest regions are exposed to warm and cold air masses, which cause this area to have four seasons.
