temperate forest biomes

Temperate forest biomes are regions with moderate climates where deciduous trees shed their leaves annually and conifers stay evergreen. They experience four distinct seasons—warm summers and cold winters. These forests support diverse plant and animal life, including trees like oaks and maples, mammals, birds, insects, and fungi. They are found in parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. The rich soil and regular rainfall promote lush growth. Temperate forests play a vital role in carbon storage, water regulation, and providing habitat for many species, making them important ecosystems for environmental health and biodiversity.
