DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperate deciduous or temperate broad-leaf forests are a variety of temperate forest ‘dominated’ by trees that lose their leaves each year. They are found in areas with warm moist summers and cool winters.

Detailed explanation-2: -A temperate deciduous forest is a biome that has many deciduous trees which drop their leaves in the fall. These forests are also known as broad-leaf forests because the trees have wide, flat leaves. Temperate deciduous forests lie in the mid-latitude areas of the Earth, between the Arctic poles and the tropics.

Detailed explanation-3: -The leaves of the deciduous trees have a tendency to lose water. But during the dry season, water is scarce. Hence, deciduous trees shed their leaves to prevent water loss.
