Detailed explanation-1: -The deciduous forest is characterized by trees that lose their leaves at the end of each growing season. In Minnesota these woodlands include sugar maples in areas where lakes, rivers, and rugged terrain protect them from fire. At the prairie’s edge, where fires are common, oaks dominate.
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: -Deciduous woods extends into more arid areas along stream banks and around bodies of water. Maple, oak, and elm are examples of deciduous forests.
