Question: Temperate Deciduous Forests questions about precipitation, climate, and animal cycle?
Can someone please explain to me about the deciduous forests climate, rainfall, etc…

Like, what’s the amount of rainfall during the winter, fall, summer, and spring? What animals each which animals in the temperate forests, what animals are in the temperate forests, and what basically gets recycled?

Also, where are the temperate forests located in the world? I’ve tried google, but can’t find many of the answers, and I know there are many people on here that probably know these types of things.

Deciduous forests are a pretty large group that span both hemispheres and range from dry desert to cold tundra/alpine conditions.

For example the seasonally dry tropical rain forest found in certain parts of the Amazon basin are subject to rather high temperatures and high seasonally rainfall. On the other end of the spectrum the Birch forest that grow in mountainous and tundra areas closer to the poles experience extended periods of below freezing temperatures with a very short growing season in the summer.

So to make a long story short is there a more specific deciduous forest that you want to know more about? I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Does anyone feel that we are gettin’ too worried about environment and climate change? Aren’t environmentalists scaring us too much? Shouldn’t we look at the benefits of cutting trees and forests?

God the creator will take care of everything. He created earth for us and he must know how to mend it and with the help of science and technology we can save environment.

Besides the damage to forests, dangerous chemicals, and poaching of animals caused by pot growers, I bet those pot smoking hippies add to global warming and pollution with their nefarious habit.Why aren’t hippies more ashamed with the damage they do to the envirornment as well as the destruction to the community?
