The Temperate Deciduous Forest

The temperate deciduous forest is located in Canada, Japan, China, Japan, parts of Russia, and the eastern half of United States. Everywhere there in those places were described as beautiful and majestic. When the leaves fall down from the trees down to the soil, the nutrients in the leaves are being absorbed by the soil. The soils of the temperate deciduous forest tend to be very fertile. Also, because of this, the biome has fertile soil and a long, 5-6 month growing season. Many of the Temperate Deciduous Forests have been converted into agricultural regions. The average temperature in the forest is about 50° Fahrenheit.

    Trees play many major roles in our climate, but vary depending on the needs of a region. Roots that store water drive deep down into the Earth, holding soil together and absorbing moisture from underground which is then released into the atmosphere in a process called transpiration (Thomas 19-23). This moisture is essential to the water cycle, without which water from deep within the Earth would be unable to escape back into the atmosphere (see appendix). Without these trees’ roots, regions of all types would be affected in different ways. Topsoil would simply blow away without trees, and would cause lands to become infertile, as well as creating sediment buildup in rivers.…

In any case, once these farmers left, the forest ecosystem began to recover. Seeds were carried to the abandoned fields by animals and the wind.…

    Trees naturally sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and thus decrease global warming and its repercussions. Carbon dioxide is an essential component of the Calvin Cycle for the production of glucose, which is the primary energy source for plants as well as many herbivorous and carnivorous consumers. With the rapid increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from anthropogenic activity since the Industrial Revolution, scientist suspect that carbon dioxide fertilization will amplify photosynthesis and, therefore, sequester more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the terrestrial carbon sink in the form of trees (Bonan 2008).2 Forests are a major terrestrial carbon sink and contain approximately 45% of terrestrial…

The reason the fall solo is because the chlorophyll in the leaves break down and the green color in the leaves disappears do to the weather changing. Chlorophyll is what gives leaves their green color.…
