OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere, trees shed their leaves during autumn as a cold season. In tropical and subtropical forests, trees shed their leaves at the beginning of the dry season.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of typical trees in the Northern Hemisphere’s deciduous forests include oak, maple, basswood, beech and elm, while in the Southern Hemisphere, trees of the genus Nothofagus dominate this type of forest. They are also bound to receive heavy rainfall.

Detailed explanation-4: -A deciduous forest is a type of forest dominated by trees that lose their foliage at the end of the growing season. This is in contrast to an evergreen forest where a majority of the trees remain “green” throughout the year because they shed leaves not seasonally but at various periods of the year.
