Temperate Forests

Temperate forests are ecosystems found in regions with moderate climates, experiencing four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. These forests are characterized by a mix of deciduous trees, like oak and maple, which lose their leaves in winter, and some evergreens, like pine. They have rich soil and support diverse wildlife, including deer, birds, and insects. Temperate forests are vital for environmental health, providing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, and offering habitat for numerous species. They also play a key role in human life through resources like timber and recreational space.
