- Trees in the area consist of deciduous broadleaves including oaks, maples, elms, beech, sycamores, hickories, and walnuts. These trees have specific adaptations to the climate: they can survive the biome's cold winters by losing their leaves for winter, reducing evaporation when water is limited. These trees are home to many unique animals that inhabit the biome. There is also an abundance of bamboo, which many of the animals feed on.
- Temperate deciduous forests experience all seasons, so you'll be able to see a gorgeous, harlequin array of leaves throughout the year - green, burgundy, red, orange, brown, yellow, and even purple!

- Careful! Deciduous forests accommodate many species of bacteria and fungi, which are necessary for decomposition to maintain nutrients in our biome's soil to keep it healthy. However, many mushrooms are poisonous to eat.
